the new selection model it's not working totally fine for us .

* it's dificult to unselect keys ... i can do it clicking outside a key, but we should be able to "deselect" the selected keys clicking over the key, as a toggle state ...

* on switcher ... when u select a region, off or zero areas are not copied properly ... that's annoying and makes us to move all the keys again once copied ...

* on swithcer ... when u select a region, you can't drag the whole selected region with the mouse ... just one switch is moved on drag ?

* on switcher ... when you select a region, copy and paste, the copied keys are not selected as it happens with the keyframer ... it's not consistent ... we consider (as expalined above) that when you copy and paste, just the pasted kkeys or switches should remain selected ...

* once you've something selected, if you select something else, the old selection should be cleared ... usually selecting with shift key pressed, adds to the actual selection ...

* when u have some keys selected and drag an Element to make it bigger (more height) then keys move it's value ! (this is linked with what we issued before ... when dragging an element trough it's slashed ///// area, it should not be modifying anything from the data, as it's a visualization modification, so it should not drag key values, or it's should not change playhead position ...

* when making copy&paste, the keys pasted remain all selected, even if copying to different elements ... that's a bit complex, we think that every time that u paste, the only keys that should remain selected are the last ones you pastes, so everytime you paste, all selected keys should be unselected, and just the pasted keys keep selected ... how it works now it's a bit confusing and it makes you make errors on the composition frequently ...

ALL this stuff will be much easier to talk about it and decide a selection model ... based on our experience we find the actual one a bit confusing and you've to be VERY carefull on what are you doing ... as we don't have undo ... it becomes even more dificult ...
