Ok it seems to be happening on some tracks and not others.  I can't see what's different.  I should have more time tonight to come up with a recipe and I'll post back then.  Thanks.
Did you lock the clips in the track maybe? That would definitely stop you from doing any editing. 
Go into the Track view, select on the clip(s) you're trying to edit and then press Shift+I to open Clip Properties in the Inspector. Now look at the Lock parameter... is it active? If so, click it and choose Off from the menu.

That might be the problem and it would definitely explain why it works in some tracks and not in others.

But that should have the effect of locking "any editing" but only the Smart Tool is effected - not the individual tools.

Oh, right. Well... might be time to contact tech support.
