Question

There is a feature described on page 91 of the user guide:

Using it you could easily toggle selection of different parts of your score (for example if you want to hear how different voices sound together, but don't want to hear all the other instruments at the same time). 

Now, after Notion 6.5 update, it shows context menu every time I do a CTRL+click (I'm on Windows), making usage of this feature very distracting and even annoying.

This feature makes my workflow much faster than using solo buttons inside the mixer window, so I had to downgrade to version 6.4 for now, where it works perfectly well; but I'd like to be able to update to newer versions of course. I guess it works alright on Mac, since the key combination is different there.

Making this new CTRL+click context menu functionality optional or just changing the key combination for selection toggle on Windows would be enough to resolve this conflict. I hope you Notion developers will consider ways to make this feature usable again.

I dislike this behaviour too (Notion 6.8.x).  It would be great if I only needed to de-select a single other staff, but that is rarely what is needed.  If the context-menu popped-up and floated for a few seconds *away from the mouse* and *in a way that made it clear I could still click on the score despite menus typically being 'modal' and disappearing when clicked-away-from)*, that would be OK.  But as it is, it gets in the way of de-selecting the other staves.
