This has driven me crazy too so I am very happy to have found an answer here. I’d just like to add that if you click “W” for “Write All” at the top of the project window then all the input and output channels will appear at once in the track list without having to individually click each one. Clicking twice is a good idea because if you only click once then indeed you will be writing automation data as soon as you move a fader because the channel/track is in write mode. So, the second click turns “write” or “write all” off but the channel(s) remain visible in the track list. Sheesh!
