Palettes Question

Trying to program some color palettes at home during the holidays- I don't have a dongle or anything- just the offline editor.

On the console and the original house patch file I have the magic sheet objects will change color to their respective colors- for example, there is one that is a rainbow of color throughout the fixtures, and the magic sheet shows that no problem. But when I try programming a new Palette, once I hit record it goes to a single color. When I put the same lights in a palette recorded on the console, it'll do the same thing. But when I load the original patch file up, it'll change to show the color of each fixture.

It's entirely possible i'm missing something- I feel like I'm doing the same thing as I would on the console, so what's up?

(Little bit more info- When in blind the Colour palettes show up properly when selected)

    Can you be a lot more specific about what is going on? Like, describe exactly what the problem is and provide steps for me to recreate the issue on my own computer.

    Part of the problem is that it seems to pop up out of nowhere- It's as if the magic sheet gets "stuck."

    I've left the computer for an extended amount of time(8+ hours)- it's been fine when I left and when I get back it's "stuck" again.

    The only solution that seems to work is to find the last showfile that works fine and merge the show settings into the latest build. and voila it works fine. Everything else remains the same.

    -------
    "It" being the fixtures selected with the CP. (Not the CP object) 

    The magic sheet if working normally should display the colors of the CP as recorded.  For example, if I have three fixtures- 1 in blue, 2 in red and 3 in green, all three will display to be the color of fixture 3, but in the live table data, all three will show the correct fixture data for the Color Palette.
