Here's what I figured out. The mouse keeps wanting to hang out on the zoom tool cluster. It reads the proper thing when I use the key command to route mouse curser to voiceover curser. However, When I query the mouse curser, it's still in the zoom cluster. No wonder it's not selecting the tracks. It did for a minute, but no more. Any thoughts?
