Keyboard cannot change lighting effect after synapse updated

I'm using RAZER HUNTSMAN. A few days ago, I updated my synapse 3 to newest version. After a period of time, I found that the lighting effect cannot be changed by switching profile with 'fn'+'application' key.

For example, when I have 2 profiles, one is using RIPPLE light effect; another one is using WAVE light effect.
I can switch between these two light effect with 'FN'+'Application' key on keyboard previously.

But now, when I press 'FN'+'Application', it only changes my profile's key setting, not including the lighting effect.
Now I can only change the lighting effect by clicking inside the synapse software.

I have tried to reinstall synapse, but the same situation happens. Is it a bug for new version synapse?

Thanks

I don't have a solution but I do have the exact same problem. My lighting effects will not sync with device profiles and I have to manually change the effects in Synapse. I tried setting different effects to each profile but the effects will not change despite having changed my profiles. Any solution?
There's a work around I believe. I found out that you have to use hypershift key and set a key to "Change Profile" with the "change lighting effect" option checked. Once you do that, it should be able to change the profile as well as your selected lighting effect.
I see. It can be a solution.
But still, I hope Razer can fix this problem, because setting another key combination specially for changing profile and light effect is a bit annoying. XD
