The problem is that very often when trying to edit notes in the piano roll I accidentally click and drag the outer edge of the selection.
A solution could be to make the interactive box region to make notes longer bigger instead of being restricted like 5-10 px wide. Or maybe the notes should have a higher priority compared to the selection, in the places where a note and selection conflict. Another solution could be to simply restrict dragging of the selection in the top ruler of the piano roll instead of the notes grid.
Personally I would rather have a setting to always disable the interactivity in the selection as I will never use that. In the very rare cases where I would want to edit the selection I will simply create a new one.
