I may be going mad...

Pressing delete and then touching the encoder for a macro resets that value to zero for me, no matter what the default setting is for that macro. RIght-clicking and selecting 'return to default' or pressing the backspace key returns it to the expected value. Am I doing something daft?

To replicate:

Create a drum or instrument rack.
Map a macro, and set it to 100%
Save the rack so that when it reloads, that macro loads at 100%
Mess with the macro values using live's computer interface
Press 'backspace' on keyboard, or right click and 'reset to default'
*Value returns to 100% as expected
Mess with macro values using Push
Hold delete on push and touch the macro encoder
**Push displays Reset to default: macro name BUT:
**Value is set to 0%

I am using Push 2

Any words of wisdom greatly appreciated!

Which Live version are you using?

Sorry for the delay!

I am using 12.2.6

Well, sorry for the same reason.
Can you reproduce with any rack/device?

Yes, this happens all the time.

Just to be sure: is it happening also with eg Racks that have Variations? Because in this case the value will reset to the default Variation values.

[edit] I can actually reproduce with some Racks. Not sure why it's happening, I'll ask around.

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that you have managed to replicate it. At least I now know I'm not going mad.
