Suck/Merge error

I've had this problem thru many software updates. If I merge changes into a cue and then later select the fixtures and suck the values it jumps to the previously merged value(the values I had saved before the last time I merged). This has only happened on the fixtures with sub-intensitys such as spacelights and Image 85's. I have only had it affect the sub-intensitys. Here's an example: Say I have spacelight burning at 1 globe in a cue 1 then I change it to 6 globes and merge it into cue 1. Then when I select the the spacelight and suck it jumps back to 1 globe. Say with this example there in only 1 cue.
This doesn't happen all the time. Seems like it happens later in the day.

I'm running 3.1.9 with hog pc as a server and hog 3 and tablet as clients and DP2000.
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Just tested and it also happens on movers parameters too. Such as the color.

I'm seeing something similar in 3.2 as well. After a lot of heavy programming (so later in the day), I can pull the fader on my master cuelist (10), Touch a fixture (in this instance I'm using Catalyst), and the layer will become active - I.e intensity jumps to full.

I have uploaded my show file. It actually started happening first thing this morning. My new work-a-round is when I do merge info I do it twice: merge 1 enter merge 1 enter.

I also have another problem but will start another thread but incase it has to do with this I'll give you a brief explanation. When I go to back up a show my my hog PC hangs up(does not respond) for a minute when I hit the SHOW button(in setup bar). Sometime after I do the backup then it doesn't run right. Won't release or play cue.
I do have a network drive that mapped into the server that I never have hooked up anymore but it doesn't look for that till after it unsticks. Yesterday I didn't experience the hang up but I had already powered off my DP2000 and switch. This isn't a big deal just wanted to give you a heads up.
Thanks

Any update on this bug? I have done some testing and here's a couple conclusions I have come to:
I have been testing it with hog pc, dp 2000 and an Image 85. It does happen all the time. it will only turn on(to Full) a sub intencity not turn it off(to 0). I tested this with just a cross over cable. I tried two different lap tops(XP and Win7), three different dp2000's and created a new show file each time. same result each time(buggy). The only thing I can think of is I installed the same software off the same flash drive to both laptops and that in turn installed the software to the dp2000's. Could the install be corrupt? I did not copy the install to the laptop. I installed it directly from the flash drive(problem?). Any ideas? I've even ran weird test like moving the laptop and dp away from anything with radio/electronic interference.
Thanks in advance for any help
Richard

edit....I downloaded the hog install on a mac and transferred it to a flash drive.
