Hi Martin, I'm not exactly sure why you're seeing that particular behavior. When Edit and Timelines are linked and Edit Selection Follows Track Selection are checked under the Options menu, the normal behavior, despite which tool is selected seems to be normal. In other words, if those are checked, any selection made in the Edit window with any particular track that is selected just simply works. Frankly, I don't remember the last time I had to change the edit tool for any given session. If I ever am specifically looking to see which tool is selected, I opt for the Selector Tool but, again, I don't remember the last time I had to verify because anything I ever do with editing just works without any issues.
All that said, I have to say that one detail that is absolutely always true as it pertains to any editing that I do is that I always use either the scrub mode on the control surface or, at the very least, Shuttle mode on the numeric keypad to navigate within a track to get to the edit point. Since I always have "insertion follows scrub" checked in the Preferences window, I'm guaranteed to have an insertion cursor in the track because of that fact. Having the Edit Selection following Track Selection under the Options menu is supposed to ensure that same behavior but who knows, maybe there's a crazy overlooked issue with that. I'm not sure. Let me know if anything changes or you discover anything else.
