AUTOMATIC DESELECTION? Project Item deselected when changing comp by double clicking on a layer

Current behaviour:

Items in project window are deselected when entering a comp by double clicking a lyer

 

Preferred behaviour:

Do not Deselect items in Project window ever!

 

This feels new (25 year veteren) and is causing me problems. This is why.

I want to add the next item from a folder to the next comp I go into.

When I double click the comp to enter it, the last item is no longer selected in the project window, so I no longer know which is the next item. 

This feels counter-intuitive and serves no purpose.

Why would anyone want automatic deselection?

Let me decide when I want to deselect thank you

Hi Tristan,

 

Do you mind sharing a screen recording that shows the problem to help us understand it better?

Looking forward to your response. 


Thanks,
