-<li> If the edit point is `mouse':
-<ul>
-<li>if the mouse is over a selected region, or no region, use all selected regions.
-</li>
-<li>if the mouse is over an unselected region, use just that region.
- </li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li> For all other edit points
-<ul><li>use the selected regions <strong>and</strong> those that are both under the edit position<br><strong>and</strong> on a selected track, or on a track which is in the same active edit-enabled route group<br>
- as a selected region.

+ <ul>
+ <li>if the mouse is over a selected region, or no region, use all selected regions.</li>
+ <li>if the mouse is over an unselected region, use just that region.</li>

</ol>
<p>The rationale here for the two different rules is that the mouse edit point is special in that its position indicates both a time and a track; the other edit points (Playhead,Marker) indicates only a time.</p>
