Fader Display Confusion

When using a MFW 10 on 2.7.4: 

If a 3x Sub is loaded onto fader 1/3 and then is unloaded, the fader retains the 3x property.  This becomes a problem when I later load a 3x Sub onto fader 1/1 which ends up using fader 1/1thru1/3.  1/4 and 1/5 are no longer accessible to load anything onto.  I can put a Sub there in the Fader Config, but it will not LOAD onto the virtual or physical faders.  This all makes sense but it is frustrating nonetheless.  Is there a way to quickly unload a Sub and have the fader not retain old info? 

Workaround is to reassign the NEW Sub as a 1x or 2x temporarily to reveal the hidden first fader of the old 3x Sub.

Thanks!
