"Select" Tool cursor misbehaving when "Control" key pressed

Choose the "Select" tool. (ie: the arrow).
Select a track in track view.
Press and hold the "Control" key and try to select another track.
The cursor changes to something else when pressing the "Control" key.
Anybody else see this or just me?

    Multi track select using the method you describe works fine here.  Can you describe what your cursor changes into?

    When holding "Control" and selecting another track (in track view) the cursor changes to the slip editing tool.
    The Tool where you can grab the end of a waveform and slip edit it.
    It doesn't actually do any slip editing though in this mode. It still multi-tracks selects as it should.
    Didn't have problem this with previous version.
    Tried it on different songs and the problem is always there.
    I'll try reverting back to previous Sonar version when I get a minute to see if it does it there.

    have you tried not holding control ?
    I typically use the right click Lasso to select multiple tracks, then I grab one track and they all move.

    Hi. The slip editing shortcut was changed to Ctrl + Shift and drag some time back.
    All the best.

    Yes, the Select tool cursor started displaying improperly in SONAR 2016.08.  Rolled back to 2016.07 and it displayed correctly.  The tool still functions correctly, but the cursor display is disorienting.
     

     
    Hope this helps,

    Yes. SquireBum. That is exactly what I am getting.
    Thanks for posting.
