X2 - Right click sets a track as active... but opens a popup menu

In the Track View, when I right click on an empty space within a track, it sets that track as active. I like that feature, since it means I don't have to go over to the track header to do it.

However, right click also opens a popup menu ("Edit", "View", "Import MIDI"). This is visually distracting.

Is there a way to either prevent the popup menu from appearing, or use a different type of click to set a track as active?

    double-left click in the same empty space in a track.

    Double clicking does that.

    Wow, that was easy! Thanks!

    How did you guys learn all these different clicking options? Is there an attractive cheat sheet somewhere? Or is a matter of memorizing the help docs?
