Output Solo doesn't follow mix changes

For sake of completeness, I should probably post this in this section as well:
From a Show last night running monitors. Hardwire CAT5 link to host machine. Running on a full PC with SAC Remote.
Flipping around between mixes just using F-keys gets the Output Solo mode ("green" solo mode) confused sometimes.
Doing a show where I had to keep moving between 6 ear mixes (5 band members and a "private" mix for myself). Assigned 6 F keys to do nothing but change mixer number. Left system in "output solo mode" so that I can hear whatever mix I flip to in my cans. After a few "can't hear what I'm changing" moments, I realized, I was still listening to a different mix than I was looking at. Moving to other mixes, and the solo in my head didn't change, even though the solo light on the output of the current mixer was the one lit. Disengage solo mode, re-engage it, and it all started tracking again - for a while.
Happened a few times in a 90 minute set. Between that and the solo-delay bug, made it a real uncomfortable show to mix.
Why do I have to always feel I'm going into battle doing a gig on this board?!
You can imagine what I would hear from the almighty if I try reporting this one to him!
