Ableton Forum

hi,

i still have some problems that sometimes commands are not available in the context menus.

especially the 'rename' command is missing very often for clip-context menu and i'm not sure if it is a bug or a feature.

once i was missing the command 'copy automation curve'. it was definitely there on another track when i clicked exactle on the same location.

i'd suggest to review the specification and the testcases.

ah. wait. i remember in an old live version the rename command was more unstable.

it was missing very often and sometimes after changing the track focus and refocusing it in a certain way the command reappeared.

in the current live version it's much better but there still seem to be some bug or unintuitive behaviour.

yep same

still happens all the time

ive tried talking to ableton about it ... they blamed OSX basically

Very often I right-click and my context menu is completely blank until I right-click again or move the cursor into the white space. Bit odd. I'm using OS X too.

i think i found the reason for the problem of strange context menus.

it's quite simple: live does not recongize the mouse to be over a clip when the clip is quite small and the mouse is near to its border.

when i just zoom in a bit i was able to see the right context menu. hope this works in all scenarios.
