Okay, I understand your proposal better. There are still differences in what I'm proposing. I propose that there always be a right pane focused; there would be no way to unset the focus. There would not be any corresponding indicator on the feature icons because the new icon wouldn't create a remembered association. I think any method for creating a remembered association would get confusing. What is shown on screen at the present moment should very clearly indicate what will happen when an icon is pressed without the user having to remember what they did previously.
If I understand your proposal correctly, it would keep the current behavior of requiring the feature icon to be clicked again to open the left pane controls for a feature that already has a right track table open. IMO this is cumbersome and a little confusing. There should be a way to show the corresponding left pane controls directly from the right pane without having to move the cursor away to the feature icons. I propose that focusing a right pane with the new icon would open its corresponding left pane. With the right pane focus decoupled from clicking in the track tables, there would not be the issue of annoying flickering of the left pane when clicking in different track tables.
