[RWP] I am very confused

[Monkey Pusher]

Nice to know i am not the crazy one here .. i have been trying to work
out the same issue myself .. and i like you were trying to figure that
one out before figuring out how to select non adjecent tracks.
someone did mention using ctrl+left and right arrow  in between
selecting the tracks and making your start and end selections  and
that seems to work some of the times but not all. There is gotta be a
setting here we are missing
