OK, I've played with it some more, and a couple of things are puzzling.
In answer to the first question, assigning the 'blank' labels does, in fact, assign a blank label. I'm noticing when I move slots, the preview shows whatever the last label where I left off on any prior port; it's not assigned yet, just the list is placed in that position, and scrolling starts from that point. This follows also for the blank labels, so if I assign the fourth blank spot from where the list leaves off (currently at "Mixer" but the on the prior boot up "MAC" was the end) and then go to another slot, and scroll the list back, it will be 4 clicks of the wheel when the last visible label appears. I hope that's clear, it almost doesn't make sense to me!
To the second question from oldgearguy, I did add some spaces in several label names, not at the beginning. Some started with a number, and some contained hyphens (as do some factory labels) and some a period. I did try to enter a pound sign, but it didn't take, so it wasn't used. Going through the list I've discovered one label that I don't recall seeing before, "ghij" all lower case, and I'm fairly certain I didn't make it; even if I had typed it I wouldn't have saved it. In any case, it's only been two days since getting a keyboard that worked, and I don't think my memory is THAT faulty, but who knows?
Current status is that the available (visible) labels end at the same place in both the Assign Labels & Edit Labels menus, before continuing with the blank entries.
So the other thing that's puzzling, the behavior I mentioned where a slot will 'preview' a label of whichever label was last held on a previous slot, this is sometimes even happening to slots that I've already assigned to something else if I select the slot with the button below, but if I then turn the encoder back and forth, any slots it selects will have the assigned label showing, and if I then go back to selecting with buttons it will also display the assigned label. I haven't worked out exactly which permutations of actions consistently cause this behavior, but it has been doing this sort of thing multiple times before and after a power cycle. I can see where picking up in the list where you leave off is OK for unassigned slots, but it would seem that an assigned slot should be showing only what has been saved, except if you deliberately scroll to other labels.
Hope that's all understandable, and thanks for your help. As I mentioned, my unit is on the 1.1.020 OS. I don't believe the newer version addressed this part of the system, but I'm willing to try if you think it could make a difference. If anyone else is experiencing something similar we could compare whether one unit is updated more than the other.
