Whenever I select a midi track the input echo button turns on for that track. If it doesn't I can't hear the midi synth. If I understand you correctly using your workaround, I'd need to manually turn on input echo for each midi track I wanted to record.
 
If so I'd rather use my workaround which is when it gets stuck, just hit the global input echo button in the Mix Module to turn off all input echo buttons. I hope this is fixed in 2017.02 so we can quit using workarounds.

I had this happen to me over the weekend and had seen this post so I'm like "Oh no...."
I did get it to turn off I think? - maybe I blew it off as it was a simple instrument track and I was done recording but still....
 
Me too!

Can anyone tell me if this input echo problem is fixed in 2017.02? Except for this bug I'm liking 2017.01 and may stay with it a little longer unless the bug is fixed.
