When cueing a pattern in pattern mode (Hold down pattern and left/right arrow), the cue loses focus if you enter Performance Mode

Bug Description

If you cue up a pattern using Hold Pattern and left/right arrows and go into performance mode, it keeps the cue engaged until you go back to your pattern, and then ignores the cue on the next loop, despite that it still appears engaged.

Steps to Reproduce

Have a project ready with 2 patterns available set at 64 steps so you have time to switch between the 2.

  1. While Pattern 1 is playing, cue pattern 2 by holding down the pattern button and pressing right arrow to arm pattern 2.
  2. While Pattern 1 is playing, and Pattern 2 is armed, Press Perform to go into Performance mode. You can stay in this mode as long as you like. Take note that the cue that was set up does not occur.
  3. When you are ready, press Pattern to go back to the main page. Take note that the cued track is still armed to cue, but when it gets to the next loop, the cue doesn’t engage.

I think 3 things here should happen, depending on the intended functionality.

  1. If you cue a pattern, and move to performance, the Tracker should respect your cue and change patterns at the next loop
  2. Cue patterns work only when you are on the patterns page. If that is the case, then going to performance mode doesn’t cue the next pattern, but when you go back to pattern mode, it goes to the next pattern on the next loop.
  3. The Tracker doesn’t support cuing a pattern, and going to performance and then back to the pattern page. If that is the case, then the pattern should not flash red indicating that it’s going to move to the cued pattern, which it does not do.
