Midi synch not working in 12.1.3 PRO but works correctly in 11.5 PRO

I use the Novation Mini Mk3 as a midi controller but no matter what I do in 12.1.3 the controller is not receiving midi timing data so I am unable to use the ARP functions. This has been working fine out-of-the-box on 11.5.

Steps to reproduce :

Open 12.1.3
1. Under /settings/MIDI Specify 'LaunchKey Mini Mk 3' as the Midi input and output device.
2. Create a blank/new project
3. Drag synth plugin to track ensuring 'LaunchKey Mini Mk 3 is the loaded midi device for the track.
4. Press play
5. Enable ARP on device and play a chord note timing
6. Press stop
7. Change BPM from default 120 to 30
8. Press play
9. play a chord note timing -

Expected Result:
ARP sequence time should run much slower

Actual Result:
ARP sequence timing is the same as previous and unrelated to BMP.

This works and has worked perfectly in 11.5 and has only become an issue since the upgrade.
I tried specifying sending timing and/or MTC specifically to the device but it has not effect.

OK I've also tested with external hardware - my microfreak set to Auto and connected via USB.
All works out of the box with 11.5 Pro AND Ableton lite but not working with 12.1.3 Pro

You know I've paid good money for the pro version but one the disadvantages of using Tracktion is the complete lack of real support. This problem is making 12 pretty much unusable for me. I might have to switch DAW's at this stage.

I don't know what's going on. One of the nicest aspects of Tracktion was the *frequent* engagement of its core development team right here at KVR, helping answer questions, taking suggestions, bouncing possible feature ideas off of us, and more.

Since around March of 2022, they've been just about totally absent. I've seen a couple of minor posts from Figbug, but that's it.

If there was a stronger support channel elsewhere, I'd recommend it and use it--but I'm hearing there's not much going on through their help desk, either. It's like the whole company has been on vacation for over 7 months.
