Issue with Macro behavior after updating to Cubase 15

Dear Support Team,

I am writing to report a problem with my custom macros after updating to Cubase 15. These macros worked perfectly in Cubase 14 but are now behaving inconsistently.

Macro Details:
My macro is designed to “Move to Left Locator > Step Back 1 Bar > Activate Punch In.” I use this to quickly prepare for recording. I also have versions for 2 bars and 3 bars back.
Additionally, in Cubase 14, I could press the key twice rapidly to toggle/cancel the “Activate Punch In” command while staying at the desired position.

The Issue in Cubase 15:
1.Rapid Double-Pressing: In Cubase 14, I could double-press the assigned key (like a double-click) to toggle the punch-in status. In Cubase 15, if I press the key quickly, the cursor moves an extra bar back (e.g., moving 2 bars back instead of 1). It only works correctly if I wait a significant amount of time between presses.
2. 2/3 Bar Versions: In the 2-bar and 3-bar versions of the macro, the cursor moves further back than intended even with a single press.

Comparison Videos:
I have attached screen captures demonstrating the difference in behavior:
Cubase 14 (Normal behavior): Dropbox
Cubase 15 (Incorrect behavior): Dropbox

Troubleshooting performed:
I have already tried resetting the Preferences, but the issue persists.
These macros are essential to my daily workflow, and this change in behavior is causing significant disruption. Could you please investigate if this is a known issue or if there is a setting I should adjust?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Aizen

There’s a reported bug in C15 regarding the Nudge -1 bar function.
