[Rwp] Understanding Envelope Visibility + Should Something Be Done in Osara?

Hi again folks,
it's nothing urgent, because I don't need to work with envelopes yet,
but I'll most likely do something with them in the future. Regardless
I'm trying to understand how they work.
Could someone please explain to me how toggling envelope visibility
works? Specifically, I'd like to know the relationship between
selecting tracks and switching between active envelopes. The thing I
can't understand is this.
Say I have a project with 2 tracks. I move to the first track, press
ctrl+alt+v and than verify with ctrl+l that the volume envelope is
indeed active.
Next I move to the second track and press ctrl+alt+p to make the pan
envelope visible. This works as well, but I can't understand why
ctrl+l always switches between the volume and pan envelopes regardless
of the currently focused track. I thought that it would only give me
the volume envelope when the first track has focus and only the pan
envelope when the second track has focus. So, does ctrl+l switch
between envelopes across all tracks or am I going about this all
wrong?
My second question is, how well do envelopes work with the new
focusable master track (switching, toggling and so on)? Does it
already behave like any other track when it has focus using Osara or
does further 'envelope support' have to be added? Also would it be
useful if the master track responded to the Track: View Envelopes for
Current Track action or is this irrelevant in case of the master
track?
I would file an issue On Github, but first I have to understand how
envelopes work. Or maybe someone who frequently uses them could do it
instead. Just a thought.
Thanks in advance.
Matej
