I'll have to review this, but last time I checked, once you had an  
episode in the right pane selected and focus back to left pane, that  
episode still was selected.

Beside that, you are of course wrong, but suprisingly it's still  
possible to miss if you only quickly glance on the screen and focus on  
the selected text, because you want to navigate. I guess it's some  
psychological problem, because the visual difference between having  
the left and right pane active is so strong, if you have coverart  
available. If you only have few recordings without coverart, and  
happen to have such a recording on the top of the list, you can miss  
even the episode information at the bottom, because the eyes are used  
to see a coverart in this case.
How about having a placeholder coverart if a real one is missing?
