ableton stealing computer keyboard from plugins

Post by poorsod » Mon Sep 21, 2009 8:18 pm

I recently moved to Mac (OSX 10.5.8, 15" Mac Book Pro), and I've been getting infuriating behaviour when typing things into plugins. When I use the backspace key, the stroke somehow gets hijacked by Live and interpreted as a "delete", and the plugin gets deleted accordingly. This seems to happen in all my plugins, including but not limited to Absynth, Kontakt, Massive, etc


I have a vague recollection of a similar thing in XP when I first started using Ableton (I think it was stealing the whole keyboard) and the fix involved editing an arcane preference file somewhere. However despite comprehensive searching I haven't been able to locate either the original Windows fix or a Mac equivalent. Please help, this is driving me insane and I have work to do!
