I'm on another computer than the one I tested with before, and I now have the same behavior as you. There must be something wrong with my setup.

Anyway, I'm looking for when the behavior changed (the 3 different behaviors that can be observed in your video).

I also have the same results.
Buttons and 'copy scenes' sliders have no effect.
Only channel_sliders work.

Also if I go to Functions tab and selecting a scene adjusting the sliders has no effect. The chan value always returns instantly to whatever the VC channel_sliders are set to.

I have raised this issue in other posts. :)

My conclusion was :
Sliders in Level mode always send/Tx their value constantly. So if a chan is in LTP it will always see the slider value.
When in Playback mode, the value is sent/Tx only when the slider is moved.
I also noted that when a new slider is created, on the same chan, in Level mode, that slider takes control. The first slider now does not work.
This seems, to me, as evidence that sliders in Level mode never stop sending their values. (Even if at 0)

Hope this helps.

Qlc 4.10.1 Mint 17.2 (ubuntu 14.04)

Ps @ Massimo.
My problem with the LTP/HTP buttons (in fixtures) not being refreshed on screen was down to MATE . Kde and Kcfe work fine.

I have noticed this as well, but didn't find time to fix it yet. What's even more wrong is that the sliders send their value
also in design mode.

I think I've found the issue.

That looks ok. The slider should also react to Doc::modeChanged() with (un)registerDmxSource() -- I can implement it tonight if you won't be faster :)

I won't do anything more for today, so if you're up to it, you can integrate this patch and the change to slotModeChanged() :)

Looking good, ty. All seems to be ok for me.

Just one small 'bug'.
If I change a chan from HTP to LTP, then back to HTP the chan gets locked at the highest value.
Close the workspace and reload , all works fine again.

eg
Load Fixture (Generic RGB). Create a Slider in VC, Level, Red chan. Set to Operate. Slider controls chan Up/Down. Working.
Back to Design Mode.
Fixtures, set Red chan to LTP. VC Operate Mode. Slider controls chan Up/Down. Working.
Back to Design Mode.
Fixtures, set Red back to HTP. VC Operate Mode. Slider controls chan only Up. Can not set chan back to lower level or 0(zero).
Simple Desk can control chan.
Save Workspace. Close Workspace, then re-load. All works again.

Using compiled source from 4.10.2 GIT, linux mint

Hello,

I tried to reproduce this but did not run into this issue.

Can you retest with latest sources ? Thanks

Thanks for your time.
Sry to say, it still does the same.

Now that the slider has been fixed (ty) I'll just have to stop playing with htp/ltp. :)

This is a rather late answer to your post, and if you have not solved the issue yet, i think, it could be related to

viewtopic.php?f=20&t=9985&p=43818#p43818

If solved, forget it simply
