Audacity won't let me select between whole numbers?!

Hi,

I'm trying to make selections on a track, and it seems as though the selection tool will only let me select points in the track where there is a whole number at the top of the time line. (for example, If I'm zoomed out so that I can see the time line in seconds, I can only select on the 1, 2, 3 etc second points, I can't place my selection at 3.4 or 3.5. This is very frustrating and makes it incredibly hard to make specific tweaks. Is there a way to change this???

Thanks!
Sarah
