Submaster usable to limitate Dimmer intensity levels?

RGB MATRIX for Dimmer Control AND scenes from other frame override submaster level in the attached picture.

The first 8 faders are level faders for dimmer-intensity channels of 8 beam moving heads, the buttons are all scenes that include these channels.

Where is my mistake hidden?
Just need a master fader for the dimmer/shutter channels of the heads.

It helps to state which version you are using and on what O.S.
In annexe a simple project, in working condition.
Tried it on 4.12.2 and also on 4.12.5.1

used version is 4.12.4 - sorry for missing that info an thanks, your example works.

i don't think it is a bug, it's probably a usage fault by me.
i attached the whole qxw file where the dimmer Channels are not limited by SubMaster.
(HTP, i changed only Strobechannels to LTP)

where the dimmer Channels are not limited by SubMaster.
But they are being limited by the submaster.
Set Hydrabeam 1, dimmer 1 to 255 and lower the submaster; you will clearly see the DMX value of channel 375 change...
Everything inside a frame is controlled by the submaster... I can't find the fault here.

Maybe I fail to understand what you want to achieve, but why don't you put a separate submaster inside the RGB Matrix solo frame?

I attach a modified workspace to illustrate - the new submaster also is controlled by the same loopback channel/Dimmer fader left to it, I don't know if that is what you want...

Also the button or actually the scene "Beam_4_Dim" had the dimmer channel enabled but not set to 255, I changed that in this version...
