bad patch confusion

when you patch generic dimmers it easily happens that the fixtures will have the same name, this "confuses" v5,
steps to reproduce:
. patch no.2 dimmers

. delete dimmer #1

. patch other 2 dimmers

. group list now shows a bad selection and it's prone to bad actions like renaming the wrong fixture etc. etc.

as you can see from the picture,
group list shows dimmer address @2 selected, in 2D view I've selected the new added dimmer, dmx @4.

the issue is more serious:
1. just insert some fixtures,
2. reinsert again the same fixtures, eg. as a second bar of fixtures
>> the last fixtures are not listed in 2d View, Fixture Groups, reloading the file do not solve the problem.
>> when you select eg. fixture #5, it shows as selected fixtures #1, etc. etc., when you've many fixtures and you're not aware of it, you're easily going to make mistakes if working with groups.

while you're here, try to locate the mac aura please, for me they do not show any clue about the intensity and color used, or beam, either in 2d and 3d views
