Switching views changes selected instrument in pattern mode

Bug Description

There is an inconsistency where instruments are changed when switching to another view.

Depending on what data is on the step, instrument is changed or not.

Scenario 1: A note is on the step and you switch to song view (or any other view like master, editor, etc.) and back, the instrument of the track is selected.
Scenario 2: You are on an empty step
and switch to song view (or any other view like master, editor, etc.) and back, the instrument you selected is still there.

That’s a weird behaviour, depending on where you are in the pattern, quick tempo changes (hold song+jog) or switching to another view to see the arrangement or edit samples, etc. forces you to always change your instrument to the desired one again.

EDIT: and to make a nice game out of it, create a pattern with notes and some empty steps and press play.
Now try to switch to song mode and back while not changing the instrument slot.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. In pattern editor, make 2 tracks containing 2 different instruments and put in some notes
  2. Being on track 1 switch to Song Page (or any other like master, editor, etc.) and back, instrument selected is the one that’s on track 1.
  3. Goto track 2, cursor on a note and repeat step 2 while being on track 2. Instrument now is the one that’s on track 2.
  4. Go back to track 1 on an EMPTY step and repeat step 2. Instrument is still the former one.
