Whoops, I glanced over these details before. I think this might suffer from the previously discussed issue of being difficult to predict where a feature will open. It's not that complicated, but it's not quite straightforward and obvious. I propose the following behaviors: * Focus only changes by clicking the selection icon. A pointing hand could work well for the icon. A CO can be added for controllers to toggle between the right panes. * When focused, a feature's left pane is shown. * Clicking feature icons always opens the feature in the focused right pane. I think this would be simple and intuitive. This is the same as the known two-panel file manager model, but the focus is decoupled from simple clicks in the track tables. This requires the user to explicitly and intentionally select the focus. I think this may solve the issues of accidentally swapping panes and provide a clear way to select the left pane for features that already have right panes open.
