Hi there,

I think there is a bug when the "can fade" option is unchecked on fixtures. When I have a fixture's "can fade" setting off I can turn the fixture on with a scene, but cannot turn it off (using a solo frame with buttons).

Is this intended? I had thought unchecking "can fade" just made the channel snap to the final value instead of fading with other fixtures.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open provided workspace file
2. Go to Virtual Console
3. Open monitor so you can see output
4. Switch to operate mode
5. Press the "on" button or "1 on, 2 off" button
6. Press the "off" button. Notice the fixture(s) don't turn off.

I am running QLC+ version 4.10.4

Thank you

I am seeing similar issues with QLC+ 4.10.4 on both Windows 7 and OS X 10.10.5 with Enttec Open DMX USB.

Here are the steps to reproduce:
  1. Create a generic fixture
  2. Create 2 scenes, one to set the intensity to 255, and another to set the intensity to 0
  3. Test that your fixture turns on and off when you click the corresponding scene
  4. Create a chaser with the two scenes you previously created, and set the common hold time to 1 sec
  5. Preview your chaser to see that the fixture turns on and off
  6. View the corresponding fader going up and down in Simple Desk
  7. Stop the preview
  8. Now edit your fixture’s fade behavior to exclude intensity
  9. Select the first step in your chaser and run the preview again. Note that your fixture turns on and stays on.
  10. Note that the corresponding fader in Simple Desk no longer moves
  11. Stop the preview
  12. Try clicking the scenes and note that the fixture is stuck on
  13. Try the fader in Simple Desk and note that the fixture does not respond
  14. Save your workspace and quit QLC+
  15. Reopen your workspace and note that the fixture turns off
