How to delete automation breakpoints in Live 10?
How to delete automation breakpoints in Live 10?
In live 9 you can delete automation breakpoints by just clicking them.
That doesnt seem to work in live 10.
Also tried double clicking, hitting backspace, and many things but nothing works.
Is this a bug here or is there something that I´m missing?

Re: How to delete automation breakpoints in Live 10?
I opened a support ticket and now "get it."
I have to "triple click." If your mouse drifts, you will miss the 3rd click.
I believe the first click is to select it and the double click deletes it since support asked if I tried "double clicking." I had tried double clicking BUT, it's very easy to miss the spot depending on your resolution, mouse, mouse settings and a lot more.
I don't remember it like that in Live 9, so I've gone crazy or it didn't work like that before and they changed it. I did not go back to Live 9 to test that theory as I wanted to post "a possible solution" as fast as I could and I have to run out now.

I click once on the point in Live 10 — running the current release as demo — and it's gone. I'm not sure how you could end up with what you describe, but I think support will not tell you that one has to triple click.Linenoise wrote:I opened a support ticket and now "get it."

Another way for multiple points is to hold down the mouse on a point and drag this over other existing points, which will delete those.

A triple click doesn´t work for me, BUT I just tried replacing my magic mouse for a normal usb microsoft mouse and it works as expected (on clik deletes the point).
So the problem is 100% related to the mouse. Now I have to try making it work with my apple magic mouse. Thanks for pointing to the right direction Linenoise.

Re: How to delete automation breakpoints in Live 10?
Interesting. You are 100% correct. A normal "USB Mouse" works fine but the Magic Mouse does not. I just did the same thing you did. I will update the ticket with Ableton -but I'm not expecting any sort of real answer to that. Magic Mouse is quite popular with Mac users and they have a lot of them. We can't be the only ones.
I went back to Live 9. No other changes to hardware. I do not have this problem in Live 9 with a Magic Mouse.
I updated my support ticket and asked to put a bug in since they have repro steps and 100% reproducible case.

Re: How to delete automation breakpoints in Live 10?
There is an app called "magic prefs" that lets you set up your magic mouse so you can TAP instead of clicking it.
This way you can delete automation breakpoints with one single tap, so I guess that the problem might be than when you "click" on a magic mouse, it´s too sensitive to the movement you generate while clicking. And it translates to Live as a click+drag (not only a click).
Anyway, setting it to TAP is not an option for me anyway.. I ended up taping by mistake all the time. So i´m using an usb mouse for live and the magic mouse for everything else.

Re: How to delete automation breakpoints in Live 10?
Did any of you try "Pen Tablet Mode" in preferences to see if that makes any difference?

Re: How to delete automation breakpoints in Live 10?
Maybe I found the answer.
In my case(on Windows, Logicool mouse) normally I can't delete breakpoints in Live 10.
When I tap left button very very short, It worked.
Don't push, Just very short tap.
10.0.3 still have same behavior.
Anyone please tell it to Ableton. I'm not good at English.

Re: How to delete automation breakpoints in Live 10?
This was happening to me as well (Windows 10, Logitech G502 mouse) and what I had to do to get things working properly was to actually turn ON pen and tablet mode. No idea why that's the case but the minute I turned it on everything started working normally again.
