Research direction

Start by reproducing the deselection behavior in the Instruments panel using the linked video, with an item selected on a stave, then inspect the panel's up/down navigation and selection handling. Done means moving between instruments no longer clears the selected instrument or stave selection in the reported case; the issue names no files or tests.
