This was probably a remnant from an older report about automatically highlighting the Properties widget when a clip was selected in the timeline. Similarly to past behavior, I realized selecting the track header automatically highlights the Properties widget. I don't think this should be the case for the reasons I'd posted in previous bugs regarding worfklow. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Left-click a track header in timeline. Actual Results: The Properties widget gets brought to the front of the tabbed group it's in (if any) and is highlighted, automatically. Expected Results: Properties widget shouldn't be automatically selected; should behave like all other widgets. Bug reported while using Kdenlive git master build via ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-master.

Wegwerf fixed this with a recent patch, it is now optional via a checkbox in the configuration window. Problem solved! Thanks guys. Closing bug.
