Random autorunning functions

I am running into some strangness with functions autorunning when I switch to playback mode or launch in playback mode. I have been working around this by just stopping running functions then starting my chaser but just had an occasion where I forgot to do this before the show and the background running function threw off my light design.

I have looked and cannot find anything special which would cause the particular function to run. Is there any way to figure out what is causing the function to run? Any way to prevent this?

I am running 4.9.1 on Win 7 at home and Windows vista for shows (yes vista, it's an old laptop but looking to upgrade to a windows 10 20" touchscreen).

Hello,

Maybe a startup function ?

See the flag icon: http://qlcplus.org/docs/functionmanager.html

If not, please share the faulty workspace here.

I checked the running functions editor clicked no function and restarted and the problem was solved. That's great but I'm still a bit confused. I had never set a run function. I even looked for attributes of the functions to see if some were set to run and could find no indication of a function set to run.

I guess if this happens in the future I will just go in to select no run function and resave. My workspace has grown to over 1.5MB because I keep just adding to it with each new show. I should probably clean it out but I like having previous designs (scenes and sequences) available.
