Bug report mode 3

[Quidam]

Here's a bug report (or maybe there is something in shapes vs. mode 3 that I don't get quite well).

(What follows is purely for the sake of explaining ; the point is not to find another way to do it ) :

Let's say I have a few playbacks running and a nice stage look.
At one point I intend to kill all that and temporarily bring only a couple of beams on, so I record my beams at full in a cue and set it to mode 3.
Everything react as expected : my mode 3 cue shuts down everything and brings my beams.

Now, if I do exactly the same except that I record another playback with a shape running on those beams (circle with no intensity, or a dimmer shape) and launch it before using my mode 3 pb :
- the mode 3 pb doesn't kill anything
- and, in the case of the circle shape, it doesn't even bring my beams on.
It simply does not work at all, actually.

V10.1
Never noticed something like that with previous versions but I still have to test it.

Thanks for your input,

So, I tested it in V8.1, V9 and V10 (all hail Titan Switch and Sebastian).

Everything behaves as expected in previous versions, including V10.0 :
The shape is killed with everything else and the beams go full.

For V10.1, I started with a new showfile and a basic setup : a few beams and 4 washes.

Three cues :
- Wash @ full
- Beams @ full, mode 3
- a circle without intensity on the same beams

And, actually, it's even worse than what a saw at first :
With the shape pb launched, the m3 pb behaves erratically.
One time it kills everything, on second try it doesn't do nothing. On third attempt it killed only half of the washes (??), then another time just one...

The only consistant behaviour is that it never brings the beams intensity.

My first show was created in V9, and for that testing session I started with a show in V8.1 and saved it on every version I used.
Still have to try creating the show in V10.1. EDIT : No luck with a fresh V10.1 show. And I get the same behaviour whether the pb are recorded in Fixture or Channel mode.

Thanks for the report. As you say this seems to be an issue introduced in 10.1. It's been entered it into our system.
