I just see "Record X"

x being the number of the clip. No numbers in little boxes like in your pic. I just did another function and it worked so hopefully I can move forward. Noticing some other unrelated weirdness. I guess now that I'm heading into the mixing phase I'm gonna start seeing the little quirks. I'm sure most of which will be attributable to user error but this selection thing was certainly a weird one. Cheers.  

Oh my bleeping blap! It just did it again and when I isolated the BFD clip and unmuted it it did something to the wave files of that section on my rhythm guit track. Essentially the clip sections in THAT part of the track are now silent but there is no split or mute or nothing. Just the inside of the wave is gone (just the outline is there) and when I hit playback that time period is just gone. 

I... just don't know what to say here. I can't work like this. :-(

Hi Beebster,

 I can confirm your issue. I noticed the same behavior here as well. Clips seem to get selected when I don't even touch them. It only happens when working in lanes as far as I observed it. And only the mute/unmute function in my case...so far. Can't get my head around this. 
...I'm not so sure if this is a user error.

regards,
Daniel
 

I have experienced strange things and keep presuming it's me. For example, the output level on a compressor rolls to 0 or 100% (I think this happens when I mousewheel over the tracks to scroll up and down through tracks and busses - if I fail to hover correctly, I end up scrolling wheeling a parameter.).

Another case is where I click on a track or bus but that track or bus do not become selected. I move pots and faders effecting some other currently selected track.

To try to deal...
I watch closely my selected track and make sure the track I think I'm modifying is actually selected.

I am careful with the scroll wheel and have actually started avoiding using it for scrolling up and down tracks in track view..
 
I'm definitely using lanes also.

@Noisy Neighbor. Thanks for posting. I am indeed working with lanes. Okay... maybe I'm not going crazy. Oof. I was hoping to have all my slip edits and fades done by now. If this a bug it's a pretty annoying one. If it's some weird default setting it's very strange and confusing. Cheers.

Yeah... I'm getting ultra paranoid and triple checking before I make moves but even then weird stuff is happening. Have you guys installed the Quick Fix yet?

I have installed the quick fix, but there was significant assurance that the quick fix could only impact a small handful of things and that it was largely safe.

That's why I haven't made the fix a priority because it says it addresses stuff that don't apply to me and if other folks have it installed and still getting the weird selection problems then it likely won't help. Your scenario seems different than this though but now I'm worried about what's gonna happen when I actually get down to mixing. And just to be clear I'm not trying to complain... I just need to get this figured out. It's wrecking my flow. :-/

Let's get specific...
I have seen
- pro channel outputs roll up and down (I presume related to me using scroll wheel to scroll in trackview)
- EQ items in the Vocal FX thing disabled (bands disabled) - I'm meaning the vocal fx with the exander compressor, de-Ser, delay, stereo widener, eq

I've seen faders move, but I use fader automation so that's less of an issue.

I have thought I was editing one track while modifying FX on another track by accident.

IIRC you are on Win8 now aren't you gswitz? I'm on 7 Pro. Just want to be thorough if this ends up being a bug report thread. I figured if it was a bug though it would have hit the forum already. Maybe I missed a thread on this. Cheers.
