Not remembering MPE Enabled after re-opening a saved project

Plugin not remembering MPE Enabled after re-opening a saved project

When opening a saved project all vital plugin will show MPE enabled (purple in the settings) BUT in order to actually turn it on (so i can hear the pitch bending in the piano roll) i have to disable and re-enable it. Even though it says it is on.

I will save a project where I verify that MPE is set to enable in vital. When I open the project again I have to re-click that button in every instance any time I open the project.

This is the only way I can get it to do pitch bending that was automated in the piano roll in Ableton.

If the issue is user error then why would it start working after turning it off and back on?

Ableton 11.2.6

yes, this has been a bug since launch of v1 for me. in vst2 via ableton 10/11 on windows at least.
(same with pitch bend not working)
