Cannot make a marquee selection with mouse cursor over the tracks' headers #8912

Description

@dozzzzer

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have two or three empty tracks
  2. Start making a marquee selection starting from the bottom track up and to the left, so that the cursor goes over the track headers
  3. (Might need to repeat a few times)
  4. Observe

Expected behavior

No crash; the selection propagates over the tracks despite the mouse cursor being in the track headers territory (AU3/AU4 master behavior).

Actual behavior

The selection only touches the bottom-most track, eventually leading to a crash:
