Live doesn't send keyboard inputs to Kontakt any more

Hi,

I don't know, if this is an issue caused by Live, but it appeared since I updated to Live8.
I'm loading NI Kontakt 2 (2.2.4.001) and opening it.
Then I try to rename a track or to delete something in Kontakt, but nothing happens.

I tried turning off MIDI input by keyboard, no change...so I can't edit anything by keyboard in Kontakt 2 any more.
I don't think it's an issue caused by Kontakt, because it works in Logic and in the stand alone version of Kontakt (and indeed in Live7).

I've also installed Novation Automap 3, so maybe this is a problem!?

My configuration: MacBook Pro (2008), OS X 10.5.7, running Novation Automap3, Logic, Live

Help needed!

Thanks and greetings

add this to your Options.txt
-_EnsureKeyMessagesForPlugins

if it's not there, just create it. don't forget the capital "O"

Hi R.A.W.,
thanks for your input, tried this, but (nearly) no changes.
One thing is better now: when I selected for example a LFO in Kontakt and pressed delete, in Live 7 the LFO was just deleted. In Live 8 the whole plugin was deleted (so I assume the keyboard wasn't forwarded to the plugin).
With your entry in Options.txt the plugin doesn't get deleted any more, if I press delete within Kontakt. This is a small improvement ;)

But still can't edit anything by keyboard in Kontakt...

cheers
