How do I see the value of automation points

I’m seeing the following behavior with automation in Cubase 14.0.41 and 15.0.6.

When I select an automation point on an automation lane and move it (with the mouse or using the arrow keys), the point clearly moves on the automation lane.
However, the numeric value shown in the Info Line does not change.

I’m pretty sure that this was working in release 13 or something.

Is there any way to reliably see the exact value of the selected automation point while navigating/editing points (e.g. with the keyboard)?

Many thanks, Peter

Here C15 shows the actual values (x|y) in the info line, when an automation point is dragged with the mouse, or moved by key command or toolbar button. With mouse, it shows also the info at the crosshair.

I have no issue like that here in C14, the value in the info line always reflects the currently selected automation point, also when moving it. Hovering the mouse over the point also shows the current value.

OK, many thanks. I figured out that the problem is with Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol 3 only. 3 years ago I filed a bug at NI with that exact behaviour. They offered a workaround to use the VST2 plugin only instead of the VST3. I recently updated Komplete Kontrol to Version 3. Now there is only a VST3 available. And voila - the bug ist still there. After 3 years. Every other plugin works like charm.
