One more thing just popped into my head. In the Edit window, the same (or similar) behavior is seen with the tracks in a vertical orientation: at a certain point, there's a group that sometimes appears earlier in the list rather than together with the rest of the tracks in the timeline. the same issue exists here, as far as I can tell. Surely, hiding tracks you don't need is a good way to simplify but sometimes keeping more tracks visible is advantageous. Anyway…
I don't remember if I specified in my previous message but, as some folks might already know, VoiceOver sometimes sees things that are concealed visually. This is both an advantage and disadvantage. I became somewhat exasperated with my assistant when she couldn't see something on screen that VoiceOver clearly saw. I insisted it must be there and, in fact, it wasn't, at least not until she clicked on a disclosure triangle and finally saw it. Meanwhile, VoiceOver saw it despite the fact that it was technically hidden because of the collapsed disclosure triangle. Funny… and yet not funny.
