ML Controls all moving at the same time

Ahoy there,

Here's a little issue I've come across with the EOS Software that I'm not sure how to explain exactly.  

When I click a fixture and then go to click and drag one of the scroll wheels in the ML Interface, it will not only move *every* scroll wheel there a tiny bit, but it'll also latch onto the wrong one.
This only seems to happen if I'm going too fast - the time between selecting the light and clicking on an ML control being about 0.75sec.

It doesn't happen every time, and I'm not sure if I'm just going mad or what. It seems to happen more if I select a light and immediately go to change one of the ML Controls.
I've had the issue happen on both a Mac with a Nomad Gadget II and with an Element 2 Board.  
I've had it happen if I click and drag on one of the scrollers, and also if I use the scroll wheel (the scroll wheel one doesn't latch onto the wrong slider, but it does do the whole "make all the sliders move")

Here's a video of it happening on an EOS Element II Desk:  https://youtube.com/shorts/5hYeID-8DOo

I've slowed the video down to 20% so you can see - 
I'm selecting an LED PAR on the right hand screen, moving over to the left screen with the ML Controls tab up, clicking on Red and dragging up.  You'll also notice all the other scrollers move slightly, and the Saturation goes from 100 down to 99.
At first I thought it was just a glitch with an older desk, but it has happened to me on a MacBook Pro when I'm running a nomad setup too...

I'm running EOS 3.3.5.69 on the Element II Desk, but I've seen the problem on older versions too (over a year ago).

Any thoughts?

  • I can see what's happening, but don't quite know why. You're not moving multiple encoders, you only move one, but it's the wrong one: the Hue encoder. Since virtual Hue and Saturation are linked to all other colors it looks like you were moving those as well.

    Would you mind sharing the showfile? You can either add it to your reply here or send it to eos(dot)moderator(at)etcconnect(dot)com.

    Lastly: Just a quick reminder how the virtual encoders are meant to be used. Rather than clicking and dragging, you can simply click and hold without moving. If you click close to the center line you will get slow movement, if you click closer to the extremes of the encoder you will get fast movement. Alternatively you can place your mouse pointer over an encoder and use your mouse's scroll wheel to turn the encoder.
