The feature works regularly on my PC with Ableton Live 9.7.1 Suite using this sequence:
1) Create two points defining a segment to automate the needed parameter (I tried with Track Volume and Reverb Send).
2) Move a point to obtain an oblique segment. You cannot bend a horizontal or vertical segment.
3) Hover the mouse with the Alt key pressed on the segment. You should see a symbol representing a curve just under the tail of the mouse pointer. The Alt Gr key has a different function.
4) Bend the curve pressing and keeping pressed, along with the Alt key, the left mouse button.
Other than an a Live glitch, it could be an issue with the keyboard. In case, Paasmark produces a keyboard tester which can be downloaded as a 30 day trial from the site.
