Strange Magic Sheet behavior

Hello everybody!

I draw a MagicSheet for the Color Palettes of my Scrollers where I said the filling color of the buttons should be dynamic to show the gel-color. 
This works fine! Now I merged this MS in already existing showfiles which in 90% works fine also.
BUT in some showfiles it won´t (in one Show it shows the usuall grey Background in another a white one). I thought it had to be about the Color-Palettes but couldn´t find any differences to the Color-Palettes in the shows where the MS works fine.
I merged the Color-Palettes though and tatataaa they showed the right Colors.
So I have an easy Workaround but still don´t understand the behavior...

Any ideas? If someone´s (Anne???) interested in taking a look into the files to tell me that it´s just stupid me I could E-Mail or dropbox them...

With greetings from sunny Berlin

    A couple thoughts :

    the MS will display the color of the highest channel number in the color pallette - so I would make sure there isn't another channel in there messing up the works.

    There was a display bug in 2.1 where linked colors would sometimes not display.  I'm pretty sure we got that one sorted in 2.2   Were the broken color pallettes created in 2.1 perhaps - and the new imported ones built in 2.2?   That's just a guess.

    Hey Boozer you´re totally right!
    I checked that again and found some wrong patched scrollers with ColorPalette entrys but no strings. So there´s hue & saturation at 0 in every palette. So that´s why they were all white.
    Very easy to fix thanks to you!

    Still there´s something strange in another show file. Here are no more than 4 ColorPalette entrys and they are all good but the MS buttons are in the default grey. That file seems to have another bug. One channel has effect 1 in a cue wich is shown right in cuelist and in tombstones but in spreadsheet it show´s effect 10 ?!

    But I don´t know in wich software-version any of these shows were programmed ´cause I haven´t been working here then. I´m not even shure if it maybe is an ASCII import from a Strand 520...

    Sorry, all a little bit confuse but thanks for the other hint anyway!

    why don't you attach this showfile to this post here, so someone can have a look? maybe also indicate which channels and which cues are showing something strange. you can attach a showfile by clicking "Use rich formatting" and then the 9th icon in the lower line of icons.

    I´ll attach the showfile I still have trouble with to this post.
    The MS in which I miss the color in the ColorPalette buttons is MS 4. As far as I see only channels 272 / 274 / 276 / 278 do have Color Palette entrys.

    The Channel that shows the wrong effect is 970 in Q 140. In Tombstones and in the Playback window effect 1 is shown (correct) but in Spreadsheet it says effect 10...Der Russe ist einer, der Birken liebt 2014-11-18 00-35-14.esf

    about the MS and color palettes: Group ColorPalette 1 Enter will select all channels recorded into the CP. for CP 1 they are: 220, 270, 271, 272, 274, 276, 278, 280, 295, 296. 296 has the highest number so it determines the color of the MS button. but because it's only a dimmer, it holds no Hue/Sat info. could maybe 296 have had a scroller once that was unpatched? i think the quickest way to get rid of that is this: ColorPalette 1 MoveTo Preset 1 Enter, Preset 1 MoveTo ColorPalette 1. i only found this a minute ago, please test carefully...
