Ctrl+Down sometimes selects an unexpected track

OS and Version:

• Operating System: Debian Trixie GNU/Linux
• Shotcut Version: shotcut-linux-x86_64-26.2.26.txz from the project's download page.

Describe the bug

Ctrl+Down sometimes selects an unexpected track.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Start Shotcut
2. Create a new project, selecttrack.
3. Add 3 video tracks to the project by pressing: Ctrl+i, Ctrl+i, Ctrl+i.
4. The project now has 3 video tracks, called V3 (displayed on top of the list of tracks), V2 (displayed between the other tracks) and V1 (displayed at the bottom of the list of tracks)
5. Add an arbitrary video source to track V2 (i.e., the middle track) and save the project.
6. Quit Shotcut.
7. Start Shotcut and open the project we just created. Initially, V3 is the selected track, it appears highlighted.
8. Press Ctrl+Down (i.e., Select Clip Below). (Note that the clip below is V2.)
9. V1 is unexpectedly the selected track.

Expected behavior

The expected result is that V2 is the selected track.

Thank you so much!

Ctrl+Down is not for track selection; it is for clip selection. It can be used to select a bank spot by design.

Yet there is a clip on track V2 that should be selected no?

I tested this more, and I agree that Ctrl+Up/Down is a little wonky. It \was supposed to move selection from one clip to the next, but there are a couple of problems: what you reported and in general when try to move clip selection in a direction with no clip (e.g. empty track) it moved current track. Also, its behavior clouded that Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down is to change current track. But why not simply up/down (no modifier key)? So, I have fixed and changed these.
