We are going to need video or files then to help
I will erase all the fseqs and start over tomorrow.  If it still fails I can put the files in dropbox and PM you a link.

Writing this while wiping the egg off my face.  LOL
I did some testing today.  I tried a new seq using the same song and created a map file for the mega tree only.   It worked perfect.  Went back to my original imported seq and ran just the new mega only map.  Now the mega tree was correct.  Started on a new song from the same donor and had the same issue with the mega tree not coming right.  Deleted all that and started over.  Low and behold the map file had the mega tree importing the wrong model.  I had a number of them get messed up due to the fact that after you select a model to import, the selection window dropdown closes but the mouse still scrolls the selection.  If you are not watching that little window and start scrolling the mouse wheel you will change your mapping.  It is necessary to click somewhere outside the model window to effectively close and end that models selection.  After I discovered that problem I went back and corrected several of the mappings, but I obviously missed the one for the mega tree.  All seems well now, but I wish the selection process would truly close once you do a selection in the drop down box.  I'll put a request in github for that.

I think you'd have trouble finding any combo boxes that don't work that way.  When a combo box has focus the mouse wheel is going to operate it.

I have done that same before. I agree with Gil, there really isn't a fix for that because it has focus.

When using MS Access I can use a list box instead of a combo box.  The focus stays, but the scrolling mouse does not seem to have any effect.  But that is Access and not the language that xlights is written in so I would have no idea in that kind of change is even possible.
