Hog 1000 - few questions: bugs or I'm just an idiot?

Did my first show on a 1000 this past week. I really like the console overall, but couldnt seem to figure out why it kept doing a few things.

:1zhelp: :1zhelp: :1zhelp: :1zhelp: :1zhelp:

1. Pig + Choose didn't bring up the master's list right away, 75% of the time I'd have to press it a few times or even press others and go back before the window would pop up. 25% of the time it would pop right up. Am I missing something? It's quite annoying when trying to move around quickly.

2. Monitor + List would not bring up the List page on the monitor right off. I had to use Monitor + one of the Group/B/C/F buttons to bring up one of those windows before it would let me use Monitor + List to bring up the List page. Also quite annoying when trying to name things quickly. Also, is there anyway to name a cuelist if you don't have an external monitor?

3. This is just a question, how do you add in a fixture to a current show? The merge function would not let me merge the fixture library from the new show I had on disk (which came from the Wholehog II Library Downloader Utility and included the new fixture I was using that wasn't in the library on the console). I ended up starting from the new disk and then just merging my palletes back into that show from mine. Thankfully I wasn't to far into anything so I didnt have to worry about merging cues or anything. Whats the right way to do this? Say I have a pre-existing, fairly large show - and I want to add a new fixture to it - surely what I described above isn't the best way?

I don't have the software version handy but I can get it if needed. I assume its the latest since the console was bought brand new a month ago.

Thanks in advance...

    I will double check the software version this weekend. I'm 99.9% sure it's 177. Like I said before, the console is only a month old - I hope it's not a hardware issue already!

    I thought about it being a bad button, but the choose button to be selected lights up after the sequence - just the cue options do not pop up. I would assume this means the button is working? Also, it isn't just one specific master, it could randomly be any of the 16. I thought it might be a bad [Pig] button, but I had the same results with both [Pig] buttons.

    On the Cue List thing, the List button works for the external monitor when something else has been selected first and also always puts "List" into the command line when used alone - just won't bring up anything on the monitor unless something else has been selected first. Can anyone confirm that it should bring up the List Page when [Monitor] + [List] is used? Perhaps that isn't true and I just need to deal with it?

    There was no external keyboard hooked up at anytime. I'll check the event monitor out and see what it says (or doesn't say!).

    Thanks to the both of you, I'll let you know what I find out.
