Make drop down menu selection more efficient

Okay let me explain what i mean.

Example 01 (refer image 01) - In the Track visibility selector where you select which global tracks like Video/Lyrics/Marker/Chord track etc. to show, when you click the menu icon (encircled in red) and open the drop down list to select the track you want let's say video track, as soon as you click on the track icon to make it visible, the drop down menu disappears and if you want to select another track, let's say chord track to make visible, you have to repeat the entire process again. i.e. click on the menu, which will make the drop down menu appear and select chord track and rinse and repeat for every other type of track. Wouldn't it be nice to click on the menu, get the drop down list and select or deselect all the tracks (chord/video/marker etc.) in one go and then click on the menu icon again to close the drop down list. This would be way more efficient than how it currently behaves. I know, its not a big deal and we just have to make a few extra mouse clicks currently, but when you have large sessions where you constantly enable and disable the visibility of these global tracks hundreds of times over the course of a session, then all these little extra clicks start to feel a bit annoying and a pure waste of time.  

 

Example 02 (refer image 02) - A similar behavior of drop down menu selection can be observed at many other places in Studio One, for instance in the Snap Selection drop down menu (encircled in red). Again you have to open the drop down menu each time after making a selection/deselection from the menu item, instead of being able to select/deselect menu items all in one go and then close the menu. I am sure this kind of inefficient behavior can be found in many other places inside Studio One. But i hope these two examples should suffice to try to explain my feature request and the inefficient behavior that S1 currently exhibits.
