Sweeping mute/solo buttons ignores hidden grouped tracks

[Neutronic]

To expand on the thread title, if we:
a) have 4 tracks,
b) assign them to two groups (1+2, 3+4),
c) hide tracks 2 and 4 in either TCP/MCP,
d) and then sweep mono/stereo buttons of tracks 1 and 3
- the hidden tracks will not get muted/soloed as expected.

Below is a licecap illustrating the behavior happening in a multitimbral instruments workflow (e.g. Kontakt), where MIDI tracks are shown in the TCP only, while audio outs just in the mixer:

Just correction, the M and S buttons are not mono/stereo, but mute/solo, as correctly stated later in the second part of d) point :-)

It would be good to correct the thread title also.

Ah of course! Thanks for pointing this out. The title is corrected.

It seems like a bug, because grouped mute/solo buttons do mute/solo all group track (visible or not) correctly when clicked, but failed to do so when sweeped, as you wrote in OP.

Maybe another bug is that if you disable grouping, then clicking mute button on tracks is independent on each other (= ok), but when sweeping across all tracks, they behave like they are grouped!!! So as you sweep across the first track in a group it immediately triggers mutes on all "grouped" tracks (! while grouping is disabled at that time !).
:-(

This one is more a general buggy behaviour, not related to hidden tracks status.

Thanks, fixing!

Great Justin, thanks.

Will also the problem that I described in post #5 be covered in that fix, please?

Hmm that was (previosuly) fixed in 5.974 I think?

Ohh, sorry then, I am on Reaper v5.973dev+0314 (32bit on Win7). So I take it back. Thank you.

Thanks! Also, I have just found out that the same behavior happens when sweeping Rec Arm buttons. It would be nice to fix it as well.
