i think you can trigger this bug by creating a bus, soloing it, then 
deleting it. now all other tracks upstream will be "soloed-by" your 
deleted bus, and ardour cannot recover from this (or at least it 
couldn't when i last checked this, which is at least 6 months ago).

make a backup copy of your session file (the one ending in .ardour) and 
open it in a text editor. you will find soloed-by="" attributes in the 
routes (or maybe slightly different, don't remember). those are what's 
causing the green outlines. if you delete them, your session should be 
working as expected afterwards.
