I don’t know why this happens, but:

I’m creating a 7-bit MIDI CC fader. It’s 0-127 as a CC value, and I set it up to be -63 → +64.

When I twiddle the encoder, the control seems somehow funky - it skips and stutters periodically. Also, this happens (look to the left of the D character):

This is resolved in the upcoming 3.5.4 release for mk2. The visual of the fader is updated there so that the value text does not travel with the bar.
