Incorrect Pot display?

I have noticed incorrent Pot behaviour/display
under certain conditions.

Assume 3 Pots: Pot1, Pot2, Pot3
The idea is to keep Pot2 and Pot3 equal to Pot1

Pot2 is remoted to Pot3.value,
Pot2.reset = Timer1, Pot2.resetvalue=Pot1
Timer1 pulses when Pot1<>Pot2

All 3 pots are synchronized until I pull the
slider on remote Pot3 and keep
mouse button pressed.

Pot2 gets then equal to Pot3.value,
but 'Pot2.display1.digital' displays old (wrong) value.
Timer1 pulses but Pot2 don't reset
though it should.

Is this the normal behavior caused just by slider
movement, or there are other reasons?

I ask because Pot3 may be located in different
process/machine and have its own remoted pots
or reset conditions.

Hi Sergei,

Please download the attached lks file and see if it does what you want to implement.
It does exist something strange in the behavior of the Pots, it seems that for some reason the Pot display is not being updated as it should.

We are investigating it. Let me know if the attached LKS is a good workaround for you

Hi Andre,

Thanks for nice workaround.

Its really important for me to know
that the problem is related just with pot display
rather than with actual "Pot or Pot.value".

I'll try just to display Pot value as expression
and "hide" actual pot.display behind this
expression on the panel.

Please keep Lookout folks updated on
the issue.

Many thanks for your prompt assistance.

Best regards,
Sergei Modebadze
