Stream Deck+ Multi Encoder: Flashing Touchscreen when using "Reset Time" #132

Hello Mark,

System configuration:
Windows 10
X-Plane 12.1.3-r2-2f2360bd
X-Keypad 1.6.1
Stream Deck+
Stream Deck Software 6.8.1. (21263)
** X-KeyPad Plugin 1.6.1.1

I am using a Multi-Encoder definition to switch between coarse and fine radio/NAV frequency settings.

I use a 2 seconds "Reset Time" to automatically switch back from the Secondary Encoder to the Primary Encoder.
As I have selected "Use Primary Encoder Logic", both encoders use the same background image.

Functionally it behaves as expected: After the two seconds timeout the selection switches back to the Primary Encoder. 

Unexpected: On the touchscreen-segment allocated to that encoder definition is a short red flash when the selection switches back to the Primary Encoder.

The behavior is present since several X-KeyPad releases. I think it is even present since the first time I have implemented that function.
So I am not sure if it is a bug or a feature. I did not see something related to that in the manual (but maybe I just missed that part).

In principle it is not a bad thing, as the red flash indicates that the encoder allocation has changed automatically.
But it is a bit confusing, as in this case NAV1 has been modified, but the ADF (being on the touchscreen) is highlighted by that red flashing.
Additionally, as I use a layout that is stretched over several touchscreen-segments, only a part of the ADF-box is highlighted. So the flashing looks like a bug 

Is there a way to disable/suppress this flashing?
