Multilight slider doesn't work properly

Multilight sliders bug?. I have three emitters,sky,sun,and hdri in this job. In max. render Multilight window is showing them correctly.I can move sliders ok, but once I change slider range on any one (incl sky and sun) that new value
applies to every other light and emitter.Then, I can adjust values by moving slider, but usually, sky has too big value,so I have to reduce range on it, but it reduces range on other emitters too.They somehow don't work independently.Also, Reset Light is not working...it does put slider to the bottom with 0.0 value, but when moved up,still
keeps previous larger values from other lights(emitters). I'm using max.for Sketchup,but same behaviour from Studio.I have tested it on large and very simple model, in png. and tiff.
OS X 10.6.8 i-mac 2.93GHz 16 Gb ram.Max render 2.6.0.0 OSX 64.....In previous version it worked ok,I was just typing different values for different emitters
thanks,
tony

You are rightclicking on a slider and choosing change slider range? Once you specify the new range a second pop up should ask you if you want to apply the new range to just this slider or all sliders. This pop up doesn't appear?
