Default "/track/x", etc. reflects master track instead of currently selected track?

Hello,

In the default Reaper OSC config file, the address "track/x" is said to reflect the state of the currently selected track (as opposed to "track/@/x", which would reflect a specific track). I quote:

# Example: TRACK_NAME s/track/name s/track/@/name
# The device sends /track/3/name "vox" to rename track 3 in REAPER, or /track/name
# "vox" to rename the track that is currently selected in the device. REAPER sends
# /track/3/name "vox" to report that name of track 3 is "vox". If track 3 is
# currently selected in the device, REAPER will also send /track/name "vox".

However, I'm finding that this address is only reflecting the state of the master track. Same thing for FX (i.e., "fx/x" vs "fx/@/x"). I'm not sure why...

For example, I'd like to have a monitor that reflects the name of the currently selected track. However, a monitor with the address "track/name" only yields "MASTER", no matter which track is selected.

I'm sure it's a simple solution, but I can't seem to crack it.

Thanks!

.. which is not necessarily the track that is selected in REAPER. In Default.ReaperOSC:

Code:
DEVICE_TRACK_FOLLOWS DEVICE
Meaning the track that is selected in the device only changes when the device changes it, by sending a TRACK_SELECT message.

Thank you for your response!

The thing is, I have that line set to "DEVICE_TRACK_FOLLOWS LAST_TOUCHED", and correspondingly, "REAPER_TRACK_FOLLOWS DEVICE", as explained in the OSC config file, as I would naturally like my control surface (Lemur) to be in sync with my Reaper window (this would be the proper configuration for bi-directional feedback, right?). So if I were to select a track in Reaper, the track name, FX chain, etc. would all pop up on Lemur, and as I switched/selected between single tracks (either in Lemur or Reaper), the corresponding track information would be updated in Reaper. This is the goal.

But I cannot get this to work..."track/name" will only reflect the master track.

That's strange, as i've experiencing different problem: following pattern "...track@/..." ibcannot select master channel sending "track0", as it used to be earlier, a couple of years ago...it just shows currently selected track parameters instead! So, kind of backwards problem ))

I've been trying to get the /track/@/name command working and haven't had any success. figured I'd try getting a specific tracked named before trying a selected track...

this is the "listened" command that did not rename the track..
(from the OSC surface "listen" window)

/track/5/name [s] "stupid"
