I find that it's way too easy to accidentally change the volume of a track when I'm all trying to do is select it, especially in the mixer. Basically, I'd like to disable the ability to change volume by just clicking anywhere on the volume fader. Possible? Thanks.
What has helped me in this regard has been to set the mouse behaviour so that the mousewheel doesn't move the sliders AND mouse clicking on volume/pan faders chooses the given tracks. As long as you click right on the faders themselves, not on the fader track, this will give you more area to click without changing anything...and you get the said track selected too.

Another wacky idea would be to put all tracks automation mode by default in read mode. You can still access the trim fader by right clicking the fader. In order for this to work, the volume envelope has to be visible by default when adding new tracks. Yves
I'm not sure if this is the same bug I kept encountering, but turning off auto-track resizing and 'always show full track control on armed tracks' solved the issue for me... Auto track resizing causes unintentional editing
Actually, is there ANY good reason for wanting volume and pan sliders to move just by clicking on the track fader area? Double-clicking to reset the fader to unity is definitely useful, but I can't think of anything useful with the current behavior of having it move with a single click. IMO, it has much more potential to be troublesome than useful. Regards, DB
