Why on Earth do the printer light hot keys turn off?

I swear the printer light hot keys have a way of toggling themselves off just from changing shots in the color space window. WHY?????? Why can't they simply stay on like any other shortcut? Instead I attempt to use them, see nothing happening, check the color menu, "oh, the problem is the printer lights hot keys have become unchecked... AGAIN" WHAT THE HECK????? How do I get them to stay on permanently , oh how about ON until I turn them off like every other setting in Resolve?????

I'm not experiencing that in window or linux.

are you on one of those systems?
are you on a panel?
are you on the advance panel II?

No, just the keyboard. Just the number pad on the keyboard.

under the "color" menu there is the option to turn on "printer light hotkeys," shortcut: ctrl+alt+A... it routinely will be checked on ( a check appears next to it when it's on), then after reopening Resolve or switching projects or seemingly randomly in the same project it becomes unchecked by itself. I don't understand why there is a way to toggle it off at all, and why it does so by itself.

Can u start with OS and resolve version at least so there is a chance of a repo method?

Just a though .
Historically (from DR12.5 till as recently as i can remember) there have been on and off issues where some standard Resolve keyboard mappings have overlapped some of the printerlight mappings. So enabling one would disable the other etc. Typicaly mappings change(d) depending on if PL was off or on so even worse. In some periods it totaly borked one of the printerlight funcions with the out of the box mapping at least on Mac's (i know because i had to build/fix all kinds of bypasses to fix that for my automation, which typicaly avoids keyboard macros like the plague, but for printerlights the nature of the beast "IS' keyboard control).

So maybe you are using a keyboard shortcut that is somehow double mapped to disable/enable printerlights.
I would check the mapping carefully and see if there is anything like that going on.
