[RWP] Issues with adding effects and selection

[Jim Snowbarger]

About shift A selecting both items, might your cursor be positioned exactly 
at the split point when you do that?  If you use left or right arrow to 
scrub slightly one way or the other, maybe it will then just select that 
single item.
