Palette Update Bug?

Has anyone had problems updating palettes via the auto-update box?

I've seen the problem a number of times and on several versions of software as follows:

(1) All parameters of lamp X are in one IPCB palette within running cue.
(2) Modification made to more than one of these parameters.
(3) Update key pressed, dialogue box displays options for cue or palette.
(4) Palette option selected. Cue option does not deselect, so is deselected manually.
(5) Update ok'd however not all parameters are updated into palette. (ie: modifications would be lost when clear pressed)
(6) Update key pressed again, palette selected, cue option deselects and update is sucessful.

    Hi David,

    I have had several ocassions where if you update and clear too quickly, the palette doesn't always update. This generally happens with a palette that contains more than one parameter - i.e. PB.

    What I got into the habit of doing was Updating, then hitting Blind - if the lamp(s) I was changing moved back to their old values I would know that the Update hadn't taken. Come out of Blind and hit 'Update' and the Update 'takes'.

    The other cure seems to be Update - PAUSE (to let the system refresh) - then hit Clear.

    I have seen this for a while now - and have flagged it previously. As I said, it generally happens with a Palette with more than one Parameter Mask. Once it starts happenning, it pretty much continues with your show.

    Any news on this, Chris / Brad?

    Best Wishes,
