TAB when renaming a drum rack channel switches to arrange

Just a little inconsistency: if you are renaming a drum rack channel in session mode and you press TAB, it doesn't work like expected (rename the next channel), instead it bounces you out to the arrangement view.

No it doesn't. Create two audio channels, select the first one, press Cmd-R, then TAB.

Found it in the manual, page 592 (Commands for Tracks): When Renaming, Go to next Track --> Tab.

So, I guess it is a bug.

To a certain extend anyway, because technically you're not renaming a real track, these ones are virtual.
Indeed. However, it still looks more like an interface inconsistency that they forgot about rather than a planned, intended feature :)
