Live 5.2.1 Quantization + Record Enable Exclusive Bug?

Using Live 5.2.1
I don't know if this is a bug, perhaps it is normal behavior and I am not understanding.
The basic problem is that when using keystokes to simultaneously trigger Record Enable and Cliplaunch on a clip that is currently recording, it does not follow the Global Quantization.
Also, when I set Record Enable to Exclusive in preferences, and then use keystroke mapping to Record Enable they do not behave Exclusively! I can still Record Enable multiple Tracks. If I use my Mackie MCU, or Mouse they are Exclusive, but not with the footswitch>Keystrokes!
I set up my FCB1010>MIDI Translator 1.4 and map buttons to keystrokes in Live to Track 1 Record and Launch Clips 1 on Tracks 1-4 . A single footswitch button now triggers Track Record Enable and Launches Clips 1 for 4 tracks. The Global Quantization is set to Bar. When I press the footswitch the first time it starts on the beat 1, but when I press it again it does not follow the Global Quantization (it behaves as if set to NONE)
This mapping setup would allow me to have a row of footswitches, each one different only by which Track they are Record Enabling. This way I can mimic sound-on-sound looping by setting up a series of footswitch bottons. I can add a new layer/clip with a single button press. Each button triggers all 4 tracks because then when I record a new track they all start on the same beat. It also allows me to start a B section in a new scene very simply. When I press the first combo footswitch button for the new scene, it automatically stops the other clips, and I can build up the new section.
I have had to go back to a setup where I seperate my Record enable buttons from the Launch clips 1-4 buttons. Now I need two-three button presses for each layer.
