The plug-in just works with the tracks selected, it can't modify the
number of tracks. Therefore, you must have unintentionally selected
both tracks.
I assume that either the undo command or the "Select all if nothing is
selected"-preference has played that trick.
First case:
- both tracks were selected
- you've deselected one track
- you've applied the time shift tool.
- the shift was to large/small, so you've pressed undo
- You've now tried another value but...
- ...both tracks are moved now.
This is because the undo action reselects both tracks again--a quite
annoying behaviour.
If you want to "freeze" the selection and solo/mute states, you have
to call a dummy effect (for example amplify by 0 or an analyse effect
or "()s" in the nyquist prompt).
Second case:
- only one track is selected
- Selection has a length of zero
- if "Tracks-->Select all Audio in Project if none Selected is
checked, all tracks over the whole time extent will be selected
automatically, if you try to time-shift.
Uncheck the mentioned check-box for this case.
In future, a message box will appear if the selection has zero length.
