P3 SVGA WaterFall Marker Issue

[Tighe Kuykendall]

Just loaded the latest P3 Beta to get WaterFall Markers.  Thanks for the
feature.

But...  I noticed a curious behavior.  Using the button on my P3 which
is programmed for WfallMkrs I noticed it's not controlling the SVGA
marker as it does the P3 display marker.

If I start with VFO A Marker off and Waterfall Marker off.  Turn on VFO
A marker then tap the button for the Waterfall Marker.  P3 behaves
normally.  The SVGA does not display the Waterfall Marker.  If I tap the
MKR A button on the P3 to turn it off, then tap it again to turn the VFO
marker back on, both the P3 and SVGA display the Waterfall Marker.  If I
then tap the button I have programmed for WfallMkrs the P3 turns off as
expected but the SVGA continues showing the marker.  Two taps of the MKR
A button to turn off and then back on gets the displays in sync again.

Two more observations.

If I turn the Waterfall Marker on and have it displaying on both P3 and
SVGA then tap the assigned button to turn the Waterfall Mark off, it
stops displaying on the P3 but on the SVGA where the marker is
displaying the marker stays with the VFO frequency.  If I turn the P3
knob to move the VFO A marker the waterfall line stays centered on the
VFO Frequency and with a knob tap to QSY the marker line remains with
the VFO A frequency.

The MKR A frequency display in the upper left corner of the SVGA display
disappears after a knob tap to QSY.  The marker frequency continues to
be displayed on the P3 display.  Don't recall if it was that way before
the upgrade.

Hi Tighe,

Thank you for detailed steps for reproducing the problem.  I was able to find the bug quickly and fix it for the next beta/release.
