I agree with you. It's a good thing.

It concerns the feature that Phyllis, GG and I like very much. Therefore 
it makes no sense to remove this option again. This option was 
introduced to give you multiple selection with CTRL + mouse click. The 
option “Clear before toggle” in Preference doesn't affect the one-click 
drag procedure as I understood it.

There are two different context menus. One context menu is Track related 
and the other context menu is Clip related. The way GG did it is 
logically correct. With your suggestion you would move clip related 
actions (Find in Resources, Show edit, User title Bar color) to track 
related actions, but that wouldn't be correct.

Why? Sorry, I still don't understand what the reason for this suggestion 
is. This one more option gives me more flexibility. I can copy and paste 
individual clips elsewhere, even though I am in this mode. This saves me 
one step.  Also, this action is optional, why should we remove an 
optional capability?

Thank you for your suggestions, I appreciate it very much, even if we 
disagree with some of the above points.
