Automation of mute not visible in console track

[Roy Slough]

I use a mixture of Automated Mute and automated volume to remove unwanted sections of a track.

Automated Volume changes are reflected in the console as the fader moves, however automated mutes don't illuminate the manual mute button.
While I appreciate that a manual mute is different from an automatic mute I would like to know if a track is has automatic mute applied without looking at the track's automation line. i.e. in the console view

Any tips please

I just select the track, drag across the timeline above the unwanted section, press Delete on the computer keyboard.

In addition to the above, volume automation is all you would need. When set to -inf, that is "mute." Keep things simple and just work with automated volume. @57Gregy's recommendation is even simpler (no need to mute things that are not there).

As-is you have to manually switch to Automated Mute button by right-clicking the Mute button.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know. 
There may be other functions available when one right clicks - I have not been trying this on all the buttons/controls.
