This will sound kinda petty I know but I'm editing a lot of music.....

When I select a song with the right-click menu the software opens right up to it, but it's not selected so I have to select it before editing. Is there something in the settings I'm maybe missing to have it selected already?

I know, it's a long shot but thought I'd ask.
