Equalizer Curve, Channel Racks, and Channel Latency racks, if present, will steal focus from the selection, not allowing for quick fader/pan adjustments.
To reproduce:
- Add some tracks
- Go to Mixconsole
- In Window Layout Setup, remove all racks.
- Select a channel with the mouse (click on name beneath fader)
- Use Shift+Right (add right command) some times
- Increase Primary Parameter (ctrl+Shift+Up)
- Go to step 3, add one rack at a time, and see when step 6 fails.
The problematic workaround is to use Project: Select Track: Add Next instead, with “Sync Selection in Project Window and MixConsole” enabled.
The problem then lies in folding, because a single track, an instrument for example, may have more than one outputs, which will be skipped over when navigating with “Select Track: Next/Add Next”. The same applies for closed folders. They will not be navigated through (in MixConsole), because they are perceived as one track when it comes to navigation.
