Still a problem in Cambridge.   Not that big a deal, but an annoying little thing.  I use the Selection Module constantly, as would anyone working from a music score with bar numbers and ranges outside the reasonable view of a screen.

Maybe you should start using Shift+F6 to open Select By Time. Or bind it to a single key if you're using using it that frequently. Select by Time waits for OK so you can enter whatever times you want in whatever order.
 

The Select Module behavior reported by the OP has existed since Sonar X1 was released in 2010.  A likely reason for the behavior still existing is that most users probably do selections using the mouse and do not use the Select Module.  In other words either no one noticed the issue or no one was motivated enough to file a Problem Report.
 
Submitting a Problem Report is no guarantee that the problem will be fixed, but hoping that the problem will be "magically" fixed without submitting a Problem Report is a futile waste of time.
 
Workaround you may or may not know about: When the user sets the Now time to the start of the desired selection and clicks the From button in the Select Module, both the From and To fields are set to the same Now time value.  This will help prevent the undesired behavior from occurring.
 

Thanks for the work-arounds.   If cakewalk doesn't want to fix the problems I report here, to a certain extent I don't care.  I'm reporting them as I find them, and will very likely leave this forum as whatever work-arounds are necessary get into my habits and I no longer get stymied by the problems.     SOME new users, who knows how many, will hit these problems, and then they will tell their friends, perhaps, how bad Sonar is.   So ...

If someone had a problem with you William but did not tell you how would you know.  It is only by telling you directly you would know.  
 
The Cakewalk problem reporting form is how cakewalk learn that there is a problem  If it is not used they will not necessarily know or do you believe them to be psychic.
 
All software creators have a method to report "problems" with their product, Cakewalk have a form here.

It is how us mere mortals make reports.
 

This reported issue has been hanging out here for over 2 weeks now, and was never put through the generation of a CWBRN, so I will be moving this back to the Sonar forum for now.
 
If someone does go through and generate a problem report and gets a  CWBRN that gets editied into the subject line of the OP of the thread, then I will move it back to Problem Reports.

Very few Cakewalk employees spend time in these forums, they're too busy working on the products themselves. Mentioning an issue in the forums is great for getting confirmation from others if something is indeed a bug, or finding out it's pilot error or a computer issue or whatever. But if something is a bug or a feature request, it needs to be put in a format that someone at Cakewalk will see. Otherwise it's doubtful any action will occur.

Few maybe, but they're the important ones.
 
Like Noel Borthwick, Chief Technical Officer  (last post to this forum 4 hours ago).
 
No way Noel's not aware of bugs being reported here, even if not offically submitted.
