I don't know if I'm being an idiot, but I've never been able to get over this problem I have in Live when it comes to selecting multiple clips in live's arrangement view.
For instance, my live set is skeletal versions of my tracks pre-mixed so obviously Track A will run maybe 16 bars over on top of Track B.
So lets say I want to move Track B a bit forward so it starts a bit later but at the same time I want to keep all the other tracks in front of B together. So I highlight tracks B to I, but then I find that the selection I've highlighted also includes the last bit of Track A that runs over Track B,so obviously when I move that grouping of Track B to I over a few bars, it'll separate that last piece of Track A and move it along with the other group of clips.
So how can I stop this? I can't seem to de-select part of a clip. Even if I don't highlight all those tracks, but just Ctrl-Click each one individually, the selection markers will still cover any part of a clip that plays in the same time range as the ones I manually selected.
What am I doing wrong? Not sure if this is very clear, but I'm curious if anyone's experienced the same issues and found a way around it.

This is a question I wanted to ask also, sometimes I put 8 clips on top of eachother in sequener view and the same problem happens to me when I want to move them.

What I do when this happens, is duplicate the track with, as you have it, the purple and green clips, and delete the green from one, and the purple from the other (and any other duplicates from whichever channel).
Then you can select the green clip's track without touching teh purple.
I find it easiest to arrange the tracks after doing that by staggering, sorta like this
GREENTRACK
_______BLUETRACK
_______________PURPLETRACK
That just makes lining up the waveforms easier without a channel in the way. (Just click on the channel data on teh right and drag-drop fyi  )
If youre a clean freak like me you can also delete any duplicate envelopes and set the channel volume to -inf

if you dont want to select the envelopes (I dont know if thats the issue tho), theres an arrow below the dropdown automation selection on the right side, if you click it the envelope gets its own sub-channel that lets you drag the wavefrom without the envelopes, also theres a 'lock envelopes' option in teh context menu
