I seem to have lost the ability to highlight a portion of more then one track to apply an effect. Think of highlighting all tracks at the end of a song to do a fade out. Always worked before. Anyone else? Does it on both of my lappies

It does not work for me either John, and the highlight function has been a little bit shaky recently.

Seems to be working here .. 2012(5)
highlited a section and used the ctrl button to select multiple other tracks .. the section was highlited on all the selected tracks.
