I am most certainly not seeing this with DXLab and the K3.  
Do you have the "restore Filter Group on mode change" box 
checked in Commander or are you using a digital mode application 
for phone?  Could WinWarbler (or another digital application) be 
selecting a filter when you go to SSB?  

For my system, switching modes by double clicking on a spot 
in SpotCollector selects the correct mode (SSB/CW/Digital) 
and restores the last bandwidth selected on the new mode 
exactly like changing modes from the radio's front panel.
