Bug ID: 430932
Summary: Improve behavior of selection tool
Product: kdenlive
Version: 20.04.1
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: pablo.pa...@cabolabs.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
There is an inconsistent behavior in the timeline using the selection tool.
Sometimes clicking on a track selects the track portion (yellow highlight),
sometimes moves the Project Monitor time pointer (the vertical line with the
triangle on the top), and sometimes does nothing. This behavior is
inconsistent, happens sometimes.
For instance, sometimes after cutting a clip in a timeline to remove that
portion, I cut start, cut end, then try to select (selection tool) that
segment, and the segment doesn't highlight, and I need to click outside the
track then inside the segment so it gets selected.
As said, other times when I click, instead of selecting a segment, it moves the
playback pointer (vertical line with the triangle on top).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
It happens sometimes, always with the selection tool, or after changing cut
tool to selection tool.
OBSERVED RESULT
Described above.
EXPECTED RESULT
All this makes losing time while editing. It would be nice to have a more
consistent behavior for the action of selecting a segment and for moving the
playback cursor/marker, and that the selection tool always select, without the
need of clicking on different places of the clip in the track.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
