I'm using Live7 on a macbook - when I want to add an instrument to a midi track I'm getting flakey behaviour - I'm trying to use the built in track pad to click and drag to add, but what I get 50% of the time is it just highlights the instruments - can you help?

I find that happens when clicking to the right of devices (meaning in the blank space after the icon AND filename/devicename). Make sure to click on the text of the stuff you're trying to drag in. I also make a point of clicking - THEN dragging - two separate moves.
Its a nuesance sometimse.
