Hi Bob,

Thank you for your video. I was able to determine the problem and there is a work-around. After launching a project in Sonar go to the Views menu - Icons - Track View and enable "Show in Header". This should restore your ability to select tracks in the Track View.

It appears the lack of icon in the header is offsetting the selection area for the control. This is indeed a bug and I've reported it to our developers. In the meantime, showing the icon in the track view strip should fix the issue for you.

Thanks for your patience and providing the information we need to solve the issue!

Yes, that workaround works! Thanks so much!!!

Bill Jackson asked about showing track icons earlier, and Bob said it made no difference. But maybe he didn't set/check it properly.

I thought he meant the icon at the bottom of the Track Inspector accessed through the "display" dropdown.
I've had the other icons disabled for so long that I forgot their existence.

I used to tell my kids "Thought thought he sat on the toilet but he didn't".

I try my best to remember that when I "think" I understand what someone else is saying I verify with them that we are saying the same thing.

I misunderstood which icon he was referring to...
Better???

I figured something like that. Goes to show the importance of detail and precision in both problem and solution descriptions. Glad you got it figured in any case.

My Dad once gave me a copy of a quote that i have always cherished... I think it applies here and I hope you enjoy it too!

"I know you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant..."

Having read all this thread I'm still unsure - is this a new bug introduced in Gloucester or an obscure existing issue appearing only when certain track option display combinations appertain?

New bug with an easy workaround, hasn't affected most people because most people apparently leave their track icons on.

After reading these posts I went and disabled the Icons in the header to see if I had this issue and I did. I also found that if you click the number box all the way to left edge as far as you can go it works as expected without having to enable the Icons in header, just FYI.
