Project root key is not changeable anymore

@Martin.Jirsak I don’t think this is a GUI bug, but instead a real coding issue.
However this isn’t with the Project Root Key in the Project Toolbar (this one can be disabled), but with the Root Key for Audio Clips and MIDI Parts, either from the Info Line or in the Pool.

Since the [ - ] is displayed in the list, and we are able to highlight it and click it, we are expecting the Root Key to change to “none”, but it does not. This is a serious problem because once we set the Root Key for an Audio Clip or a MIDI Part, we can no longer exclude them from the Project Root Key transposition, and the root key information will now be included in the audio files no matter what.
This completely breaks basic premise of the Root Key feature.

Furthermore, when we first set the Root Key, the action is listed in the History, but cannot be undone from here either. Note that every time we click the [ - ] value, a new entry is added to the History, while when Root Key is already set to a key, C for example, selecting C multiple times do not add any action, since it is already selected.

So this experiment proves the underlying code is failing to select and apply [ - ] properly, this isn’t just a GUI bug.
