What fixture file are you using.
And exactly how many fixtures are you using.

Are you using 300+ separate fixtures to do a rudimentary pixel mapping?

I think you need to make a work around.

The fixtures is that a simple 3 channel rgb or is it just a 1 channel dimmer

If RGB then there are the possibility to make a few fixture with the whole fountain light and then use rgb segments for controlling the individual light.

Then you only have a few fixtures on the screen but they each control a serial of rgb fixtures.

If it is only 1ch dimmer then you can make a, for example 10 channels fixture, controlling a group of lights.
It could be 10 light which are located in a natural group in the fountain.



If you only issue is that you can't see the fixtures then you have to raise the issue in the bug tracker.
Eventually make a backup file and add it there so the developer can have a look.
It can take a long time as the developer is normally heavily loaded.

(I think that you shall raise the issue in the bug tracker so that it is recorded)

I just forgot.

It is also possible to use Zones in Freestyler.

It gives you 4 tab's to place all 387 fixtures on.
