Live 12 Can't drag midi clips from plugin (AD2) into arranger or clip view

Hey folks,
Just noticed that when I load up Addictive Drums 2 in Live12, I can't drag the beats (midi clips) from the VST interface into the arranger or clip view? It works in Live11. Did something change?

The only thing I can find when trying to search this problem is about running Live as admin (Windows 10), but this is really for dragging and dropping from Windows file explorer into Live (which doesn't work if running as admin, or sometimes the other way around), which is not the issue.
So, regardless of running as admin or not, dragging clips from any VST window into Live doesn't work for some reason on my Live 12 install (I've tried Maschine clips and Addictive Drums 2 beats).
I have Live 11 installed side-by-side and it works fine, same plugins, no special setting. So, what's different about Live 12 here?

Just confirmed this is happening on multiple machines. My main studio computer (Windows 10) and my laptop (Windows 11).
Hmm,,, anyone know what's happening here? It's driving me crazy.

So.. no one uses VSTs that have clips that you can drag out? haha
This works in Live11, I filed a bug for Live12 beta, they took it... Totally bizarre that this regression made it into Live12, such a common functionality across many DAWs.

FYI In 12 it only seems to work for me when using the VST3 version of Maschine and not the VST2 version

Works fine for me in Live 12, but I'm on Mac

Interesting, neither VST2 or 3 work for me. I can however drag from standalone versions of Maschine2/3 or ADD2. I have a support ticket with Ableton for this too, they took it as a bug against Live12 as they could also repro it. So, hopefully someday they will fix it...
