envelope automation nodes and clip question

[micv]

Is there a setting that when you select a group of automation nodes that the clips in that region doesn't get selected as well?

The annoyance issue I'm having is when I delete a group of selected nodes, the clips in that region also got deleted.  In my case I have the envelope zoomed in and didn't pay attention to the clip above and found out much later.

Are you editing automation nodes from the Automation Lane or directly in the Track?

In the automation lane

Use the right mouse button to lasso the nodes - it won't select a region.

I'm doing this in the individual envelope lane and not in the track with the audio wave.  There is no issue with envelopes in the track.

In the lane, lasso the nodes will definitely select the clips in the region.  One reason I'm doing it in the lane is because it could get busy  if you have a few envelopes.
