I go to the mixer view, press the snapshot tab and look at a certain channel that is scoped in, by the snapshot.  
Then I deselect the snapshot because I want to see what the value of the fader/compressor/etc was when the snapshot was not enabled, but I lose the channel focus. I have to find the channel again and then look, and then I press the snapshot and I lose the channel focus again. This can be pretty frustrating on large projects with lots of channels.

Could we please have an option to keep the same channel focus, regardless of enabling/disabling snapshots?

Thanks:)

This is a reasonable thing to want. I’ve added it to our feature/improvement tracker.
