Only first color channel displayed in fixture monitor

While testing 4.10 I've noticed only the first color channel of a fixture is displayed in the 2D Fixture Monitor, other color channels seem to be ignored. Older QLC+ versions show the same behavior, so I assume this not related to 4.10, therefore posting as new topic.

To reproduce: Create (or use an existing) fixture with two color channels (e.g. XB-Wave), add the fixture, open the Fixture Monitor and change the color channel in the Simple Desk (or create a slider with Click & Go). Changes from the first color channel are displayed in the Fixture Manager, the second color channel seems to be ignored (although the colors are displayed correctly in the Click & Go Slider), no change in the Fixture Monitor.

The XB-Wave I've mentioned is an example for that, it is part of the Fixture Library, just search for it.

For this to work with all types of fixtures, this would be a lot of work (though I'm not saying it can't be done).
For XB-Wave it may be enough to change the fixture to contain two heads (head 1: channel 1, head 2: channel 2, other channels are common). You'll get fixture with two circles one for each channel.
