Push 3 MPE pitch bend and slide NOT WORKING

My Push 3 is not working correctly for MPE.
It is sending pressure and velocity, but not pitch bend or slide from individual pads.
It is also not working to allow pitch bend by sliding across pads.
Any ideas?

Make sure note PB is enabled in Push's Settings.

Sorry, I didn't notice you also mentioned Slide. The Expression setting is set to MPE rather than Poly-pressure, right?
Did you try with Live builtin synths or with 3rd party plugins (these need their MPE to be enabled by right-clicking the device's title bar - and sometimes also inside the plugin)?

Same problem here: pressure is working, slide and Note PB are not. I'm sure it used to work.
I just returned to using Push 3 after a some time away, so I can't be sure if it is after updating from Live 12.3 to 12.3.5, so it is plausible that could be the cause. I haven't updated since. I don't see anything mentioning the problem being solved in the release notes (or I missed it).
Tested with Wavetable, Meld, different M4L devices, Push3 with and without power supply, different settings on Push, MPE enabled in Live
Quite annoying, especially since I'm really close to the 2 year warranty, should Push be faulty.
Any word on this? Anyone with a solution?
thanks

Why I didn't think of this last night? Opened Live 12.2.1 that was still on my computer, and there it is working just fine.

Did you check Push's Expression settings?
There's situations where they get changed unexpectedly.

Thanks for getting back to us/me.
Yes, I tried a lot last night... disconnecting, power supply, restarting Live, fiddling with all the expression settings in Push. Tried again this morning, no joy, until I used the old Live version, as I said.
And guess what, just started 12.3.5 again, and it all works again!
Somehow I'm relieved it is not the Push, but I wouldn't want this to happen while performing my ambient set. What are/causes these "situations where they get changed unexpectedly"? When last using Push, a few months ago, I remember playing with XYZ layout...
