clicking on time ruler selects entire section, can you turn this off ?

[noynekker]

This is something that has disrupted my work flow in Cakewalk for many many years, to the point where I had to create a keyboard shortcut to escape this. (I think I recall other threads suggesting we need a way to turn this off, but they never got much traction)

THE ISSUE: You click on the time ruler, perhaps you want to go to a certain point and playback from there . . . or, it's handy to go to the time ruler and drag the mouse to zoom the project out horizontally . . . maybe you want to drag a section and loop playback to work on a certain section. Afterall, the time ruler is less than 1/4" high on my screen . . . so, if you miss the mark by 1/8" and click near the top of the time ruler, it automatically selects a whole section (on all tracks . . . between the markers) . . . this is something I hardly ever want to do, and find it annoying to always have to escape or cancel all the time when editing. Good god, it's 2025, isn't there a way to turn off the top part of the time ruler selection ?

If there is a way, please let me know . . . if there is no way to turn it off . . . just move me to "feature requests"
