Clips stopping on bottom layer

This has been reported before with no solution so far. Clips playing on bottom layer will stop - not pause but drop out completely like 'clear layer' button was pressed - after every minute or two regardless of how long a clip has been playing.

By default there are some contextual keyboard shortcuts mapped. Cleared them all to see, if they were causing the trouble somehow - nope, wasn't the case. My version isn't registered yet. Could this bug be related to the resolume watermark and disappear after registration, if most users aren't reporting it?

Anyway, my particular problem related to this bug is that I really need the record function, and that the clips be automatically added to the deck. This way I could sequence some effects via MIDI. But since recorded clips are added to the bottom layer I'm in trouble. Is there any way I could change the target layer where the clips will be added? If I could just avoid the bottom layer, I'll be saved. Anything in configuration files?

Just noticed that if audio is attached, it keeps on playing. The clip just looses its yellow active border and video is blanked out, but time line with audio continues on. Whereas without audio the time line stops too.

Also I'm not sure, but the video disappearing interval seems to stay about the same with every particular clip, but varies between different clips.

Temporary solution

After fiddling around a bit I came across a temporary solution for my problem: clip target. By setting the global clip target (from the composition menu) to active layer, I'm able to select the layer on which the clip will play via MIDI. This way I'm avoiding the bottom layer although recorded clips get added to the bottom row of the deck.

So far clips triggered this way from the bottom row haven't stopped.

Okey thanks to Ahtov we found and fixed this highly annoying clip stopping bug, it only happened on OSX with an unregistered Avenue.
