Bug? LED Ring Display Issues in Preset and Per-Preset Layouts

I'm experiencing two LED ring behavior issues on my FM3:

Bug 1 - Layout 1 (PRESETS)

The leftmost LED ring is always lit, regardless of which preset is actually active.

Example: In Bank 1 (presets 1, 2, 3 0, 1, 2), when preset 2 is active, the LED ring on switch 1 is lit instead of the LED ring on switch 2.

Expected behavior: The LED ring should illuminate on the switch corresponding to the currently active preset.

Bug 2 - Layout 6 (PER-PRESET)

Switch 1 toggles between scenes 1 and 4 (both clean) Switch 2 selects scene 2 (rhythm) Switch 3 selects scene 3 (solo)

When scene 2 or 3 is active, LED ring 1 turns completely off. However, I would expect it to be dimmed (similar to how LED ring 2 dims when scene 3 is active, or LED ring 3 dims when scene 2 is active).

Expected behavior: When a scene is inactive, its LED ring should be dimmed, not completely off.

Setup:
  • Firmware version: 12 (I just updated from 8 to see if it fixed those bugs, but they're still there)
  • Already tried: firmware update, reset, checked FC Controller (FC Edit and FC Per-Prst) and MIDI/Remote settings
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions appreciated.

I think your problems are related to the toggle funktions of the switches.
If switch 1 toggles between scene 1&4, the LED ring must be off when another scene is selected as it
only states if scene 1 or 4 is active or not.
Perhaps try a workaround with "second tap=go to previous scene".
 
That's reasonable, thanks KSAVER. It's ok if that's not a bug and it's how it is, even if I find it a bit unintuitive.

To be honest, the one that concerns me the most is Bug 1 and I believe the two are unrelated.
 
Bug 1 (<- this is the main issue):

Figure 1: The FC Edit view (PRESETS Layout) for a Bank, the second preset ("Comfortably Numb") is the current, but the first switch ("WeAreTheCh") is active.

Bug 2 (minor issue, this might just be the way it works, as mentioned by KSAVER):

Figure 3: The appearance of the FM3 on the four scenes:

Can you show the switch configuration for the Preset Layout on switches 2 and 3 as well?
Also, what is your bank size set to?
Sure.

Figure 5: with reference to Figure 1, these are the configurations for switches 2 and 3. Note that the same problem happens for every bank, there is nothing special about this one.
