Filter names getting lost in EKOS

Bit of a strange problem. The names of my filters somehow get set to 'Filter #1, Filter #2 ....' for no reason and without taking any action in the UI.
2 Screenshots below show before and after and I left the UI alone without touching anything. No job was running, I just connected and left it alone. Then after about 2min or less, the names of the filters change to 'Filter #n' (where n is 1 to 7). I have to click the Load button on the filter wheel diver to load the configured names back.

Now, It could be a coincidence but I was tailing the EKOS logs and right after the roof driver snooped on the telescope driver it happened. Both are custom drivers and the telescope one is a new one I've built so maybe its something in my telescope driver? Is this possible? Here is the line from the log... This could be an unrelated log event though. Is there anything else on a timer-thread that could reset the filter names?
Thanks,
Derek

Do you use the last available drivers?

I signalled a similar issue a few weeks ago and it was quickly fixed by Jasem: www.indilib.org/forum/general/1869-probl...-property/14089.html

Thanks Patrick,
It looks like the same issue. I think I have the latest updates. I did an apt-get update + upgrade but the problem still existed. I'll check if I really did get the update though..... Also I'll try changing the snoop settings on the CCD - EFW2...

Confirmed I'm using the latest Kstars and INDI and Its still happening.
Did you update the ATIK drivers too?

I can replicate the issue even without my custom roof or telescope driver so I dont think they are the issue.
I'm going to see if I can replicate the issue with simulators now.

UPDATE
Here is an animated gif of what I see just using the telescope simulator and 2 ATIK drivers.
There was no schedule running at the time. Just connected the drivers and waited about 2min or so (screen recording was paused)

Oh I know why... my fix didn't make it to the proprietary ATIK driver. Will ask Peter.

Jasem, Sorry to bother you :-) were you able to contact Peter about this one? I tried the latest version of the Atik driver from his website but I still have the problem.
