See my previous email for an explanation of what is going on here.
The "feature" is what determines what is displayed in the track.  The
"key" just determines the label the track is given, not what is shown
in it.

This is the only behavior I have ever seen for wiggle tracks.  The
behavoir you want would be a nice addition.  I have no idea if this is
possible, or how much effort it would be.

In the future, for GBrowse questions, I encourage you to submit the
questions to the GBrowse mailing list.  That way you will get over 100
people looking at your question.

Thanks,
