NI -Thought the bug had been fixed ?

Hi,

I've got the latest Live 7.2

I thought the arrow scrolling in NI synths had been fixed.

Still doesn't work for me!

Did you enable the workaround in your Options.txt?

I'm also experiencing problem intermittently with my NI plugins in 7.2, but some random clicking between open windows seems to fix it. If I find a good way of reproducing the issue (and its solution) I'll let you know. Last time I had the problem I had two NI plugins open as well as ReBirth running (via ReWire).

Luckily this bug isn't a big show-stopper.

Not aware of this, could you point me in the right direction.

Thanks

--- from Readme included with Live 7.02 update:

Windows only: If the DebugOption "-_EnsureKeyMessagesForPlugins" is set in the Options.txt, we make sure that all key messages reach a plugin's window in front. That way, edit fields are again editable in the NI VST plug-ins. On the downside, key messages do not reach Live anymore as soon as some objects in the window of the VST plug-in are selected. Thus, for example, once an edit field has been edited, Live's playback cannot be started via Space until Live's main window regains focus.

You'll need to create/edit your options.txt file and put the line:
-_EnsureKeyMessagesForPlugins
in the file. It's still not a perfect fix, but it works much better, and Ableton is aware of the bug and working on it.
