That "Arbitrary bit" has been a strange piece for a long time--all the
areas in and around time sigs and key sigs are sort of a "No Man's
Land" and have been for a long time. I think they set out to try and
correct this when selection was redone and discovered that it was far
more than trivial to fix.
I know it's nothing personal. Yesterday was just a bad day in the life
of your friendly, neighborhood, MM employee. ;-)

By clicking in between staves, technically on the system, you get
what you expect, as opposed to clicking on just the page.
Is that a better line?

That makes great sense -- it's the bit of having to click to the
right of the time signature that seems arbitrary.
I've often thought that clicking anywhere in the outer margins of
the page should bring up the resize tool to resize the entire page
and nothing else.
And please don't take anybody's replies to your messages personally
-- mostly we're just letting off steam and venting over what appear
to longtime users to be an attempt by MM to limit what we can do
with Finale, not expand what we can do, or at the very least forces
us to alter our long-time work habits, and many of us are
apprehensive of what the next limitations will be.
Speaking now for myself only, none of my postings are at all aimed
at any individual, and I think that the same is true of many others
on this list although I can't speak for them.
