L9: Mapping a MIDI note range to a MIDI clip: Still broken ?

[UnderwaterSunlight]

This bug was there in L8 as a broken feature:
The feature of mapping a MIDI key range to a session MIDI clip (for freely transposing that clip via MIDI notes) is still broken in L8.
It is a feature highly important to my workflow (I am one of the many predominantly MIDI-based users).
If this is not being addressed in L9, I consider it as a symptom of a low priority concerning MIDI functionality on the part of the responsible folks at Ableton.

So, all MIDI geeks using Live 9 or betatesting it:
Please check that out and reply to this thread.

Or, better still, Ableton: Let me test that feature in L9 myself. I wish to be enrolled in the Beta testing program as a heavy MIDI user.
Throw it at me, please !

How is it broken?? I seem to have no trouble mapping clips to midi keynote ranges and having my way with them in all sorts of manners.

In some sets it works, in others not. There the playback of recorded notes is unlike what you hear while recording notes.
Ableton have confirmed the issue on their systems some time ago.
I will dig up the thread in which they confirmed it as a bug and link to it here.

In this thread I have outlined how to reproduce the bug (a rather lengthy post):

That thread was posted with Win XP in mind, but I just now confirmed the bug on Win 7/64 and Live 8.4beta8 x64.

I'm more interested to know if MIDI timing is still "broken" (specifically: there is severe latency) whilst using AUTO or IN monitoring options during record.

Live 9 holds no interest to me unless the MIDI timing has been fixed. For years I've not been able to play VSTs in real time "properly" (i.e. the only latency should be the MIDI interface + audio + CPU) in Live, whereas Cubase, Logic et al have no trouble doing this.
