I'll second that. It shouldn't be necessary to disable a group just to
make some small correction on a single fader. Pressing some modifier
while moving the fader should be all that's required.

The same goes for exclusive solo: clicking a solo button with shift
should override that so you can solo two or more channels without
have to change the 'solo mode'.

Also fully agree with joern's remarks on the master. Either it 
can be used just like any other bus, or it should be possible to
remove it. 

BTW, 5.8 still reconnects auditioner and click to system ports
even if the session was saved without those connections. That's
a very old one.
