Sonar X3/Platinum drag window box clip select?

Howdy, all. I tried doing a search about this issue, but I don't think I'm using the right terms. Here are my problems as best as I can explain it:

I jumped from Sonar 8, PE to Sonar X3(and am now on Platinum). There was a bit of a learning curve, but all-in-all, I mostly dig the features in the new versions.

However, there are two huge things that are very bothersome.

1. Is there a way to turn off the clip-select in the take lanes (used to be called layers)? Now, if you click on a clip, it selects that as the active clip and mutes any other clips that overlap it in the same time region. Sometimes I accidentally click on a clip and then I don't know which was the good take. Does that make sense? Anybody else have this problem?

2. What happened to the drag-window-select function (not really sure what to call it)? For instance, say I have eight tracks of drums. I used to be able to drag a select-window and just catch the edges of the clips and it would select the whole clips. Now, wherever the select-window stops, it splits the clip. 

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers!

Thanks! Lasso . . . that's what it's called! And it's just right-click....yeesh, you think I would've figured that out.
 
I was aware of clicking on the tops and bottoms of the clips, but I was wondering if there is a way to turn off the clip-select-mute-other-clips function. I get moving pretty fast when recording/editing and I know I'll accidentally click something again in the future.
