I get it now!
Not so sure if this is a bug or if this is by design - I'd appreciate if someone can confirm... If this is by design then I think this is a huge limitation and poor a design
If a midi track has some patch configured (you'll see it in the "event list" view if one exist in your midi track - for an example refer to my previous post above) you can delete these 2 lines simply by clicking in the midi record entry and hit the "DELETE" key for each of these record entries in the list.
Now that these patch changes are removed from the midi track, you would think from the midi softsynth plugin you should/could/can be used to assign a patch from its program bank...
WRONG,... because once you stop and then hit play again it reverts back to patch 0 of the selected program bank.
Here is where I think this is a bug, I would think naturally what ever you choose from the softsyth's plugin it should take effect, but it doesn't!! I would have thought if I chose a patch from the programs plugin softsynth an entry in the "event list" of a patch change should be inserted as a record in the current position in the "event list", but it doesn't - so this is where this seems to pose a problem - is this by design or is it a bug??).
What I've since discovered though, you can only configure, for the midi track in focus a patch from the console view "bank, patch" pulldown options. Note a patch change in the midi "event list" is again NOT inserted, this selection of the bank, patch will affect the whole track which sounds logical from the console view perspective.
