Hey Guys

I found a strange addressing problem on my QLC configuration.

Here is a simplified version with

- 1 Color Changer (channels 42-48)
- 1 moving head (channels 279-289)

What is happening:

- i start a simple scene with the color changer , without strob (channel #47=0)
- i start another scene in a XY PAD , with the moving head (including only 1 tilt channel , as i know it is the source of the problem)
=>Result : the strob channel ( #47) is modify to 1 on the color changer :o and it starts to blink

This is not happening outside the XY Pad , or when i set the moving head channel beginning at 300.
This is directly caused by channel #281 of the moving head (tilt), when it is used through the XY Pad.

My configuration file is in attachment ....you can test the virtual console

Thx

This is a bug - Presets used in the XY-pad do spit out strange values to fixtures not included inside the XY-pad.

Reproduce steps:
* go into produce mode
* open DMX monitor
* select 'new scene 2'
+ verify the outcome, pan and tilt channels are set.
* deselect 'new scene 2'
* select the 'new scene 2' as a preset in the XY pad.

!! now, you can detect that the blue channel of the 12x10 fixture gets a 1 and the chutter channel also gets a 1 as values.
* Selecting the reset all button to undo these false values.

I've tried these steps and I can't reproduce this behavior. Tested in Ubuntu 22.04 with QLC+ 4.13.0-GIT.
