Bug: Issue with activesource_source IDs

I seem to be having an issue with the SetActiveSource command in my activation macros. All of the server variables that are supposed to be set are correct, with the exception of the activesource_sourceid variable.

As I cycle through three of my sources, the source ID consistently picks an incorrect ID for each source.  And for some reason it picks the same incorrect source each time.  For instance, when I select my Oppo Bluray player (ID 18), it sets the sourceid variable to 15 (Pioneer AVR).  My Shield TV (ID 4) comes up as ID 2 (Bike TV), and the Theater Tivo (ID 12) comes up with the ID 11 (Living Room Tivo).

There isn't anything helpful in the logs since this is a command, and the correct command is being run each time.

I'm sure you've already checked this but I assume the activation macros are calling the correct sources, right? Can you post a picture of your sources screen?

Thanks for the suggestion.  As mentioned above, the ActiveSource command is invoked with the correct source, and all the variables that get updated by the ActiveSource command are correct, except the ID.  I seem to remember it being correct a few days ago.

I attached a screenshot of my sources below.

You don't have all of those sources assigned to the same room so you? I'm thinking I ran into an issue early on where I had multiple sources with the same "type" in the same room and I had the same problem with the activesource not getting the correct id.

I only have one Shield, Tivo, and Bluray in the theater.  I attached a screenshot of my apps and sources by room below.  Even if there are multiple Bluray players, which will be the case in the living room when I add those sources, they will have unique names, and the ActiveSource command should still work.  My next post will have some further data.

If you have time, can you check your active source variables after activating a new source?  I don't recall seeing this mismatch before, and I'm curious if it's specific to me or if something changed in the server in the past day or two.

I replaced some buttons on one of my pages in MyDesigner with the SetActiveSource command for the same three sources I mentioned above to make sure there aren't any issues with the rest of the activation macro causing the problem I'm seeing.  The behavior was the same as before,

I attached a PDF that shows the appropriate line from the log after initiating the command with the resulting ActiveSource variables.  All the active source variables are correct except for the ID.  The same incorrect ID consistently comes up for each of these sources.  Note that in two of the cases the ID is from a different family altogether,
