I found a similar issue, but I am not sure if this is the case or if I have misunderstood the purpose of channels.
All my tracks were the same channel and despite showing the selected instruments, which were different, only one track would change the instruments of both tracks.
I then noticed that both tracks were on channel 2 and changing the channel of one track fixed the issue, and they are not the different instruments as desired.

Make sure each instrument has it's own channel, and that no two instruments that you want to have different sounds are in the same channel, otherwise it will merge the two together and only make one sound. For instance if you have a synth, piano, and guitar, you'd set the synth to channel 1, the piano to channel 2, and the guitar to channel 3. If you suddenly decide you want the synth track to play what's on the guitar channel, you can just change the guitar track's "voice" to a synth and set it to channel 1 instead of channel 3, rather than having duplicate instruments on different channels.
