No but I've altered 497 MIDI notes to only have to go back in my history to find and correct. 😄

This extra step is fine, but I put it in the category of software prompts; "are you sure" My hands aren't mischievously laying on my keyboard waiting to do harm, unlike unknowingly selecting all the MIDI notes in PRV.

Nope, you need to at the very least quick group a bunch of tracks, THEN used ctrl to adjust the relevant control.
 
Same applies to busses

 
We used to able to:
https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR%20X2&language=3&help=Mixing.53.html
 
To adjust the same control in all tracks. Hold down the CTRL key and adjust a control in a track that is not selected. SONAR automatically adjusts the same control in all other tracks.
 
I believe this was introduced in Sonar X2. Not sure though. not working here either.

I just tried what the OP claimed with X3 as it's still here and:
 
1. Yep holding CTRL down while you tweak a widget controls all the widgets of the same type grouped or not.
 
2. I wish I had known no, remembered to use his before.
 
3. Cakewalk better put this back or the cat gets it.

It is likely a bug and associated with other recently reported quick group issues introduced when multi-touch features were updated. That or the "To use a Quick Group" section in https://www.cakewalk.com/...mp;help=Mixing.45.html needs updating.
 
While inconvenient, I would not expect an update to 2017.06 to fix it. Hopefully the feature will return in 2017.07.

There's more!
 
I just rolled back to the January 21 2017 version.
 
It WORKS!
 
So they broke it or took it away and gave us a limiter - I dunno.
 
CAKE!!  HELLLP!
 
This just in. The May 2017 version works too.
I'll take it to the Problem Report forum.

It may be by design, in which case all the help files are wrong and need to be updated.  They also should have mentioned it in the release notes. 
 
If it's not by design, they should look into fixing it.  But I doubt it will be a high priority.  They do need at patch update though to fix all these click testing DPI issues that have suddenly appeared starting in 2017.05.  It doesn't effect  me, but it sounds like something that should be fixed.  This quick group problem, I could see them wait till next month to address it.

Didn't they just recently add the quick group feature that allows for "any" controls in multiple tracks to be controlled simultaneously provided "cntl" is pressed, including effects parameters, as long as the tracks are all selected? With that new functionality in place  - if pressing "cntl" and moving a fader WITHOUT the tracks all being selected (essentially what quick group does is select multiple tracks) moves ALL the faders - wouldn't that be counter to the new functionality of quick grouping?

PLEASE RETURN THE FEATURE AS I AM ASSUMING ITS A BUG.  CAN'T EVEN CHANGE COLORS OF MULTIPLE TRACKS HOLDING DOWN CNTRL.  Sure... We've all made the mistake of accidentally doing something unintended to all selected tracks but  that is not a reason to remove the feature so again, please fix
 
 
Also... I no longer can adjust all gloss EQ HPF on a group of channels.   While some things do still work,  many other grouping things don't
