Channel selection in magic sheets

Doing some more work with magic sheets, I've uncovered what seems to be an inconstistancy, and a fustrating one.

If you choose a channel by clicking/touching, then set it to a level via keypad, then choose another channel, the two channels get combined on the CLI.  If I've set the channel to a level, the consistent thing to do would be to start a new channel selection when I choose a new channel.  That is:

 

Click a light targetted to channel 1.

Type @ 20 <Enter>

Click a light targetted to channel 2.

CLI now reads 1+2 , it should read 2 Only.

  • And another one.. sort of.

    Click two lights, lets say 411 and 293.

    CLI reads 411+293.

    Decide you don't want 293 any more.  Hit clear once.  The entire 293 disappears (Cool! I like this part, though it's different than anywhere else, usually it would require 3 keystrokes).

    Decide you don't want 411 any more either.  Hitting clear twice more would theoretically clear the "+" and the "411" based on what happened the first time you pressed clear.

    Result: 41.  The first channel in the list doesn't delete all at once.

    This isn't actually inconsistent, it's the way all touch targets work. If you select a tombstone with the mouse or touch and set a level then select another you will get both channels selected. The same applies to group selection. Double hitting a selection though will reduce the selection to that channel/group only though which is what you're looking for.

    Cheers
