[Resolved] Fade work incorrect in lighting cue?

SCS 11.8.3.1
If I set or do not set the "Fade" flag for the DMX channel, the effect is the same - the value of the DMX channel is gradually changing.

The fade must have occurred because the DMX channel was marked as a 'dimmer channel' in the relevant Fixture Type properties. I agree that this is confusing, since that 'dimmer channel' setting is initially copied to the 'fade' checkbox in a lighting cue. When the cue is played SCS applies the fade if either the 'fade' checkbox is set, or the channel is marked as a 'dimmer channel'.

I tried a quick mod where on playing a lighting cue SCS would only check the 'fade' checkbox. That worked OK, but then when I played another lighting cue for a different fixture, the channel set by the first cue was faded out (not immediately blacked out) as this process checks the 'dimmer channel' property.

Could you email me a cue file (.scs11 file) that contains at least one fixture and cue that has this problem, and tell me which cue is involved?
