This coincides with a few other reports of the quantize timing being off after updating. Does OS 2.0 add sloppy timing/sync?

Not sure if I'm missing something here, but loading anything with 'clear' doesn't seem to do anything?

I don't think many people would notice this, because I think most people would be loading a folder with a project file inside which will clear memory regardless.

Select a folder and hit DO IT.
Press CLEAR
You'll get the 'caution' screen
Press DO IT - this SHOULD be the end of it - it should load the folder and wipe existing files. It doesn't.
Instead I'm taken back to the previous (Load a Folder) screen - as before, there is a CLEAR button - it;s as if my request for CLEAR was ignored.
Pressing CLEAR again just sends me back to the CAUTION page once more - and so a loop begins.
However, it would seem that somewhere in the background, the MPC5000 knows I pressed CLEAR at some point. So, upon returning to the original 'Load a Folder' page, if I press DO IT rather than CLEAR, this time it does indeed perform a CLEAR load.
So - if you load a folder and just press DO IT straight away, no replacing or wiping is done (which is correct)
If you press CLEAR, DO IT - this doesn't work, but press DO IT once more and it will perform a CLEAR load. This is incorrect, as the CLEAR load should follow the DO IT on the caution page.
I don't think many people would notice this, because I think most people would be loading a folder with a project file inside which will clear memory regardless.
My head is spinning.
I don't care whether it's a bug or something wrong with my machine, as it has a workaround - but I need to know for the sake of the ebook I'm writing for the MPC5000, just to warn people if it is a known bug.

Does anyone notice this running the 5k stand alone? Does the problem occur while the MPC is the master? Does anyone notice the timing getting off when the MPC is slaved to any other device or DAW?
