OSC sending string after clearing the settings

Question

I'm running 3.1 on both Nomad and a Gio and I set OSC Cue Send String to "/go" for QLab, but then I cleaered it now it's empty, however it's still sending out /go whenever I GO. I could put something else in there and clear it out and /go still fires. I presume this is a bug, it's not show stopping since were only using OSC RX now on the LX side, but it was the biggest issue when we started using OSC. 
 Here's a link to the showfile

Hi, 
 In your showfile, you still have Cue List 1 Executing OSC TX: /go 
 You will need to re-build Cue List 1 Execute without that command to get rid of it.

Yes, this feature was added in v2.9.1 where an individual cue list could have its own separate Cue Recv String and Cue Send String. 
 The information in the User Manual under Show Control applies here too: 
 OSC Cue Recv String 
 Allows the user to specify a different incoming OSC string format for integration with other applications. Use %1 in the string format as cue number and %2 as the cue list number. 
 OSC Cue Send String 
 Allows the user to specify a different outgoing OSC string format than the standard Eos implicit string for integration with other applications. The following options can be used:

%1 - cue number

%2 - cue list number

%3 - cue whole number

%4 - cue point number

%5 - cue label

I will ask to duplicate that information in the External Links portion of the User Manual so it's easier to find in the future. 
 By the way, for Cue Recv String applied to a specific cue list, it's not necessary to specify the cue list number via %2, though it might help a particular workflow. But if you imagine that Cue List 3 is the "Spots" list, some OSC device could just send "/spots/7" and if Cue List 3 is set for Cue Recv String: /spots/%1, then cue 7 will be played upon that command. 
 update If the global "Cue Recv String" is something like "/thingy/%1/%2", sending /thingy/7/3 would also fire Cue 7 of the Spots list 3. 
 For the Global Cue Recv String, if you do not specify %2 for Cue list, it's assumed to be Cue List 1 (even when there's no List 1 in your showfile).
