I just ran into this and works as expected in 8.5
 
I am processing a sub bus in the track view before mixing down the project to a track for export. I press CTRL-A to select all in project. Only the busses get selected and none of the tracks.
 
My expectation is that everything in the project should be selected.
 
Anyone else run into this? Is this a new feature change? This CTRL-A select all used to work for the entire project.

I'm seeing the same behavior in 8.5. Seems to be working as intended.
 
EDIT: Scratch that. I see 8.5 does select tracks when you Ctrl+A with focus on a bus. The behavior changed in X1. I think this was a necessary side-effect of implementing the oft-requested feature that the focus highlight move to the bus pane when selecting a bus. So I would still say it's working as intended, and not really a problem so long as you're aware of the change.
 
 

opened this one - CWBRN-23377

The Edit > Select > All command selects everything in all open views. Any action affects all selected objects.
I think this is what your looking for.
Only the open windows will be selected.(The window you are working in.)

That was the first thing I checked - same result as Ctrl+A.
 
But see the edit to my previous post.
 

We'll see what the bakers say. It would be nice to have an ini file option instead of being forced to accept work flow changes.

I think the real issue is should the tracks be in the same windows as the buses, or should there be an option for this. Otherwise by design.
 
I would expect though to be able to do CTRL A on both the buses and track windows and for them both to persist once I change from one window to another (so I would have to do CTRL + A twice), as I can CTRL + A the tracks windows, and then selectively add buses at the moment (so not consistent).

I experienced that last night. I pressed Select A as I always do and nothing became selected.

I found something that did work. I clicked on any track to make it selected, then pressed Select A and the Select All function worked as usual.

I agree something is tweaked in that regard in X3, never had an issue with it before. But the method I just mentioned works fine and I've been able to proceed just fine.

I just double click on any track number (sometimes a triple click) will select all tracks.

But not busses. Either/or. Cheers...
