Summary	0010004: Selected track gets forgotten after Save + Load
Description	The selected track is getting forgotten after saving a session , then reloading. It’s something I first noticed in Mixbus but apparently it affects Ardour too and all platforms
Steps To Reproduce	Steps to reproduce:- 1) Open some existing session and select View->Show Editor Mixer 2) Highlight a channel that isn’t track 1 and check that it gets shown in the LH pane 3) Save the session, close it and then re-open it In the majority of cases the LH pane will now contain something that wasn't what you saved (most often it'll show Master or Audio Track 1). Though with some sessions the saved track gets correctly restored. And (for Mixbus at least) older versions seem to display correctly much more often - so presumably, that was the original intention?
Additional Information	Mixbus sessions can display a lower pane which normally shows objects from whatever's being shown in the LH pane. But when reloading a saved session, the two panes don't even show the same object (lower pane can show Master when the LH pane shows Track 1). I'd be happy to help debug this but I've no idea where to start
