Can't select multiple layers on the timeline by dragging?

Hi, just starting with After Effects, is this normal that I can’t select layers by dragging a square on them in the timeline?

Thanks

Yeah that’s just how it works, you have to use Shift and/or Ctrl to highlight multiple layers. You can highlight keyframes on the timeline by dragging a box around them though.
