Cabinet Material "Framed Panel" Duplication

  When I open the wall cabinet specification dbx in my kitchen plan for a wall cabinet and select the "Materials" tab, there are two separate component line entries for "Framed Panels" (with Frame and Panel sub-categories).  One entry allows me to change the material for the frame and panel as expected, while the other entry does absolutely nothing when I try to change material selection.  I am confused as to why there are two separate component line entries for "Framed Panel Doors", when I would expect there should only be one.

  If I start a new plan and insert a wall cabinet, there is only one entry for "Framed Panel Doors" as I would expect. Why are there two in my original plan?

Take a look at my picture below.  It has 3 different door styles listed on the materials page.

 

The upper door was set to the beaded inlay door.  The lower door was set to the framed double panel door. 

 

The other framed panel door is the one that was set as the "main door style" for the cabinet.  It's not currently using the main door style but if I was to add a new door somewhere or change one of the other two to "use default" then it would.  Whether you are using the main door style or not, you can still set the materials for it.

 

Basically, any time you use a door, drawer, or end panel style from the library in a cabinet it will then show up in the materials.  How many sub-materials show up and what the names are depends on how the person that built the symbol set it up.
