Summary0008910: Strange inverted behaviour with track groups
DescriptionThis was first reported by a Mixbus user but I couldn't reproduce it in Mixbus - however it seems very reproducible in Ardour. Although it refers to tracks, it's easier to see in the Edit window.
Steps To Reproduce1) Select two Editor tracks and click 'Group->New Group' to add them to a group.
2) Moving one fader will now (correctly) move them both.
3) 'Shift+Move' will (correctly) move only the selected fader.
4) Now select 'Group->Edit Group' and mark the group as inactive.
5) Each fader can now (correctly) be moved independently - i.e. as if they weren't grouped.
6) BUT - 'Shift+Move' now moves both faders.
Additional InformationThe Mixbus user found it in MB for Linux (not sure which Linux)
TagsNo tags attached.

That is intentional. Shift "inverts" the group behavior.

In that case there seems to be an inconsistency between Ardour and Mixbus - namely:-

1) Select two Editor tracks and click 'Group->New Group' to add them to a group.
2) Moving one fader will now (correctly) move them both.
3) 'Shift+Move' will (correctly) move only the selected fader.
4) Now select 'Group->Edit Group' and mark the group as inactive.
5) Each fader can now (correctly) be moved independently - i.e. as if they weren't grouped.
6) And in Ardour - 'Shift+Move' now moves both faders.
7) But in Mixbus - 'Shift+Move' still only moves the selected fader.

Sorry, I should have added that items 6) and 7) refer to adjustments made in the Mixer window (adjustments made in the Edit window seem okay)

(6) Ardour -- is what I expect to happen. Shift + action inverts the group setting: deactivated groups (group-settings) are enabled, and vice versa.

But yes, Mixbus changes various hardcoded modifiers in Route-UI for their mixer-strips. e.g. shift+click does not reset the Mixbus-Faders to default (double-click does).
Mute/Solo buttons group-override is ctrl+click in Ardour, but shift+click for Mixbus. and Solo-isolated toggle is also different ctrl+click in Mixbus...

It is inconsistent since the Ardour widgets retain their original behaviour.
