Bug: Fan_ Center Fan_ Repeat syntax broken

I am encountering this bug in v3.3.8.7 as well as v3.3.6.60

I am not encountering this bug on v3.3.5.69

I have Macros for "Fan_ Center", "Fan_ Repeat", "Fan_ Cluster" as I find it faster than the softkeys.

In v3.3.5.69 and previously if I used these Macros in combination I could do "Group 1 Fan Center Fan Repeat 2 Enter". This would behave the same way as if I had used the Softkeys and gotten "Group 1 Fan Center Repeat 2 Enter".

Now though when combining the Macros for Center and Repeat, or Center and Cluster, it gets changed to "Group 1 Fan Reverse Repeat" or "Group 1 Fan Reverse Cluster"

I tried relearning all the Macros just in case but that didn't help

I made a Macro for "Fan_ Reverse" to see how it would behave, and if I use the Reverse Macro in combination with Repeat or Cluster instead of getting what you would expect, I get "Group 1 Fan Mirror Out Repeat"

I then made a Macro for "Fan Mirror_Out" to see how it would behave, and if I use it in combination with Repeat or Cluster instead of working I get "Group 1 Repeat Error: Number Out Of Range"

Currently all tested on MacOS Sonoma 14.8.7

    The reason why this happens is that in 3.3.6 there was a change to allow cycling through the multiple Fan modes by pressing [Fan] multiple times. That's why when you're in Fan Center and fire the macro, the command line sees an additional Fan and steps from Fan Center to the next Fan mode which is Fan Reverse.

    If you remove [Fan] from your macros, they will still work. so [Repeat 3] or [Mirror out] with Fan.

    Yes I did this after I understood the new function of multiple [Fan] presses that I had missed in the Release Notes. Unfortunately it does not work as well as with the old syntax, as when you remove the Fan_ part from the Macro, you can't also use that macro as a starting place because it will give you a syntax error for "Channel 1 Thru 10 Repeat". So before I could hit my "Fan Center" macro and then my "Fan Repeat" macro to get an effective Fan Center Repeat, or I could just hit my "Fan Repeat" and get just Fan Repeat on the CMD Line.

    It's frustrating that the old functionality was broken, but I can understand why some people would want the multiple press [Fan] functionality as it is similar to functionality in other desks, it's just not my personal preferred workflow
