Summary0010278: ui hangs when selecting automation points from outside of the automation track
DescriptionWhen selecting an automation track, and the selection starts *outside* of the track rectangle, sometimes the UI hangs for a while.

This also happens with latest Ardour nightly.
Steps To Reproduce* Start a new project
* Add a midi track with any automation (I've tried with bender and controllers).
* Repeatedly write an automation track and select it.
* UI will eventually lag.
Additional InformationI attached gdb and added the following dprintf:

dprintf Editor::point_selection_changed, "Editor::point_selection_changed\n"

When the hang happens, you can see that this callback is called thousands of times.
TagsNo tags attached.

Confirmed, starting the selection from the midi region itself seems to cause the issue. This only occurs in edit mode and with control points in midi region automation.
Attempting to delete/cut control points selected this way results in a segfault.
