song position when synced to master

Hello,

I can't find a way to solve a problem when Live is playing synced to some other master sequencer: it keeps following the incrementing song position, that it counts by itself.

For example, if I loop at least two times in Arrangement mode and then exit the loop mode - it suddenly jumps to the ongoing song position to catch it up. It makes it difficult to play when the play involves quite a lot of looping...

I have tried filtering all the incoming midi messages except start/stop/continue messages - it starts fine then and looping works well, but it looses sync with it's master later. If I un-filter midi clock messages, Live starts counting the beats, incrementing it's own song position to follow it.

Earlier, I thought it was the Song Position Pointers it is following that might be sent by master. However, during my tests any SPP messages where filtered out and it still didn't work.

Does anybody know any workaround for this? Found no visible settings or options to turn it off... Btw, jumping to locators set in Arrangement view doesn't seem to work too then.
