Summary0010197: Mixer strip fader dB field automatically deselected when your mouse leaves the strip
DescriptionAs indicated, this is "trivial", yes, but nonetheless annoying.

I often click on the fader dB number to manually set it, and then immediately, habitually *move the mouse out of the way* so I can see the new dB number I type in.

Well, if you do that too carelessly and your mouse *leaves the strip*, then the dB value is automatically *deselected*...
...and then you begin typing, and nothing happens to the dB value, but usually some setting is flipped/adjusted (like Slide -> Ripple if typing a "1", Snap Off -> On if typing a "4", etc.).

So, is it possible to keep that dB selection once you click/select it, no matter where your mouse goes, until you explicitly click somewhere else?

Thanks for considering!

Again, trivial.
...
I *expect* the mouse to be there (obscuring my view) when I start typing, but I can see now that it does in fact disappear when you start typing. O__o haha

Nevertheless, auto-deselecting anything is kind of annoying once you've specifically, explicitly selected something.
