I may have this a bit wrong. I'm on 8.1 on my Desktop. 
 
If I select a length of time via of the time line and then select a track the entire track is select and overrides the time line selection. However if I select the track first then select the length on the time line it is selected on the track. I can then add tracks the that selection. I am using the smart tool. 
 
Bob are you unable to make any selection using the time line? What about doing a selection on the track? Is that working?

Hi Beepster...
 
I've always selected the time range first and i get the expected reult of correct export length... So I'm huessing it' supposed to work either way?

Hi, Keni. Yeah that seems to produce an export of eveything when no tracks are selected but if you range select with nothing selected then select a track the track selection overides the range selection... or has been my experience in the past. I could be mistaken though. Working from memory.
 
Hope you've been well. Cheers.

Hi Beepster...

No... When I use a time range on the timeline, i always select the tracks to include after setting the time range... And i get what i expect...

I just installed gloucester on my laptop but havent played with it yet as im on battery until generator time this evening... But the laptop is win8 (keeps failing the 8.1 install)... Tonight i will install on my DAW (win7Pro) and see what happens there...

I hope something good is happening for you... I'm still in limbo on the best of days! <sigh>

I guess i'll have to get used to that... I hope it's a bug and gets fixed because my mind thinks if it the other way!

No problems here with selection of any number of tracks and time range in any order. In case it matters, I'm selecting by sweeping in the timeline and sweeping and/or Ctrl-clicking track numbers.

On a per track basis, I can workaround that but I can't make a selection on more than one track...

I can select a range on more than one clip per track not using the timeline but then I can't deselect one of the tracks.
This is so goofy!
 

I fear I may have caused a bit of a divergence in the thread which might ruin the testing capacity (and I can't test properly myself right now) so I'll post this and be gone.
 
I think that maybe the Ctrl select may be the difference between keeping a range select active when selecting tracks. I'll check that out tomorrow.
 
@Keni... things have gotten slightly more reasonable here. Not much but I'll take what I can get. Gotta stay hopeful I guess and plow through the sh*t times. Better days may or may not be coming for any one of us so I just pretend like they are and it helps me through the bad. Good vibes your way as always.
 
Now back to our regularly scheduled troubleshooting (and hopefully not bug report) thread.

I also have no problem with selection, I have tried all mentioned combinations. Win8.1
