Selecting Busses

I frequently have this issue when working on a mix - I usually record instruments with multiple mics, set their blends and then bus them together.  I then mix primarily with busses.  When you click on a track in the console view, Sonar automatically puts that track front and center in the track view as well.  When you click on a bus in the console view, though, it doesn't move that bus into focus in the track view.  I sure wish it did.  Is there a preference hidden somewhere to make it do this?
 
I'm using X2.

    Select Strips->Track Manager from the console view - there's a check-box there to keep things in sync.

    I usually don't use the Bus pane in the Track View so I didn't know this, but you're right, clicking on the bus in the Console View's Bus pane does not move the same bus in the Track View's Bus pane upward/downward to be visible.
     
    If no one offers you a workaround, you might want to send a FR.

    I use the bus pane a ton.  That's where all of the envelopes show up, and if I have 2 tracks that make up my bass sound, 3 that make up my kick drum, 4 that make up the guitar, etc, I have to use the bus pane to manipulate those envelopes.  My current project has 14 busses off of 32 tracks and will probably get a few more as I get deeper into it.  It would sure be nice to have a quick way of getting straight to the right bus.  I guess I'll submit a feature request.
     
    Super G - That check box just seems to affect whether the console and track view hide the same tracks or not.  It doesn't affect how they come into focus.  Thanks for the tip though, I never knew that was there :)
