TouchOSC Master/Manual Fader issue

Just checking if anyone else has that issue:

When using the supplied TouchOSC LXConsole remote, the two Playback faders don't work properly.

1) When I move either fader with my mouse on my mac, no problem - the faders on the TouchOSCremote follow flawless, and behave as expected.

2) When I move the Master Fader on the IPad, it follows on my mac until I let go of the fader, at which point, the master fader on both iPad and mac snap to zero.

3) When I move the Manual Fader on the IPad, it follows on my mac until I let go of the fader, at which point, the iPad stays where I left it (i.e. 50%), where as the manual fader on my mac snaps to zero.

I have tried this with and without my firewall, and on two different makes and brands of routers. There are no specific action entries that reference these controls in Setup>OSC, but I understand this is not necessary for these specific controls?

Preferences>OSC has the "Remove "/z" from the end of messages UNticked (I found this necessary to get the keypad/commandline on TouchOSC to work correctly, as it otherwise echoes every character entered into the command line), and

Preferences>OSC Out has "Forward to" and "Send all channels when changed" UNticked. All the rest in both categories is ticked, and seems to be working fine bi-directionally.

Anyone else with the same issue? Or am I overlooking something really obvious?

The preference to remove "/z" from the end of OSC messages was added for compatibility with TouchOSC. It appears that when the "Touch Messages" option is enabled, the current version of TouchOSC sends duplicate messages with "/z" appended to the address. Something may have changed so that LXConsole's preference is not working as intended. So, the action of the preference has been modified to completely ignore any messages that have addresses ending in "/z".

The solution to the issue is to use the latest build and set it to ignore messages that have addresses ending in "/z". Or, to change the option in TouchOSC that sends touch messages to off.
