OK, I figured it out, but it’s still kind of weird. Here’s what I have been doing. First I start playback with tab from the beginning of the file to the point where I want to start the selection and then stop with spacebar and press the P to drop a marker there. Then, I hit spacebar to continue playing till I find the end where I want to mark the selection and hit spacebar. Now I press command Y to bring insertion point to the play head, and then command left arrow to extend selection back to the previous marker. Selection has now been made, and pressing the EE previews the cut correctly, so I know the selection is made. Here’s where it gets weird. Pressing command why has the effect of kicking the play head back to the beginning of the file. If I now press the spacebar it will play from beginning through the end of my selection. And then all subsequent spacebar will play only the selection. but, if I first pressed command shift why to bring play head to insertion point, it effectively brings the play head back into the selection and then pressing spacebar will correctly play only the selection. Believe me, I have run this six ways from Sunday and I have to conclude that pressing command why has the effect of kicking the play head back to the beginning of the file. And, pressing command shift why to bring it back to the insertion point before playing the selection is the only way to get it to correctly play the selection only. Otherwise, it will play from the beginning of the file through to the end of the selection. Once there, it is back in the selection area and subsequent presses of Spacebar will play the selection as expected.
I have checked the playback settings and they are not the culprit here. So, it seems there is an extra keystroke in the command shift why to bring play head back into the selection area if I want to hear the selection plate with the spacebar.
