Default Automatic track resize issue- I just want manual resizing!

Hi all-
I opened a project recently and there is a new behavior that is driving me nuts (FWIW I just upgraded to 6.12c using default 6 Theme).When I select a track, the track and arrange views jiggle around as the selected track resizes (gets larger). When I select a different track the old track remains large and the new track jiggles around, etc. I say "jiggles" because I could perhaps live with it if the selected track stay where it was and moved the others down but it seems to recenter the selected track or something--can't tell exactly-- causing me to 'lose my place' in the track view. I just want to select a track and have it remain the same size which I can then resize manually if necessary. Is this a bug? Did I accidentally change a preference?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Just to clarify: are you using a (single) left click or double click to select the track?

If it's a double click, check Preferences > Mouse Modifiers for [Track control panel].

What operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux) are you using in this case?


EDIT: Or do you perhaps have a script set up as SWS Startup Action (Extensions > Startup Actions > Show Project/global startup actions) which might be causing this?
As example, something like the 'mpl_Enlarge selected track' script mentioned in this thread: https://forums.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=1725960

Default Thanks

You are aces!
Single-click, but it is HEDA Track Inspector (VIP) that's causing problems. I can take it up with Hector.
Thank you!

That’s not a problem but a feature called “enlarge selected track”. You can disable it in the first tab of TI.

Ah-- I never use that on the strip and must have hit it by accident.
