NP Inhibits, asserts, and go to cue behavior

Hi all, I'm dealing with an issue that's come up before but there's never been a solution: I'm using inhibits on the iris of some fixtures, and every time I run a cue with an assert the inhib sub is asserted. It also happens any time I go to cue. No combination of priorities (cue list higher, or inhib higher) affects anything. My current workaround (of the last several years this has been a problem) is to just assert at a channel level instead of a cue level, which is far from ideal. Anyone have any other suggestions, or can explain why this is happening?
