Flexi state ignored when channel list not active window

so what IS your selected window? would this happen to be a magic sheet?

I like your thinking! That's what I suspected at first too, but it seems to apply to any window, as having the PSD selected causes the same issue. The issue is also present even if there isn't a magic sheet currently open.

hm, just tried this with the offline editor. Tab 1 in Flexi patched. ch.18 is a dimmer, ch. 19+20 not patched, ch. 21 is a dimmer+scroller.
tab 2, so the PSD is active now. chan 18 enter. next. ch. 21 is selected. this seems correct but not what you're seeing...

Hmm. What I used to be able to do is set the Channel display to Flexi Active, channel check at 0, and next/last to find an "offending" light for an LD without having them have to play hide and seek with their magic sheet.

This works for me when the channel window is selected but not when it isn't.

Are you running OLE 2.0.1?

(Edit: It probably would have been really helpful if i'd mentioned I was using Flexi Active in my first post. Sorry about that.)
