Hi Forum,
as I promised, after the learning curve I have found the following differences between the written and real button combinations:
M1 with Fit Tracks --> does nothing (should show all tracks)
M2 with Fit Tracks --> brings a pop-up window for track selection (should show only selected tracks)
M3 with Fit Tracks --> does nothing (should show and fit selection)
M4 with Fit Tracks --> does nothing (should hide selected tracks)
M2 with Record --> clears All Automations Write enable (should show Recording Option dialog)
M3 + Display/Name/Value clears display under Value buttons.
Perhaps the new firmware will bring solution.
Whole X-Touch functionality is exactly as it should, nothing has to be corrected in the firmware.
The whole "magic" happens in the software (more precisely, in the Sonar MackieControl plug-in).
"Fit Tracks" just "press" normal keyboard key:
(without modifiers) - F
M1 - A
M2 - H
M3 - Shift+S
M4 - Shift+H
These bindings have changed (except "F") since the documentation was written for ancient Sonar version. But you can set them in preferences as you want.
"Record" with modifiers call no longer official "commands" (depending on version, they do not work)
M3 -Name/Value in the documentation: "toggle the disabling of LCD updates". I guess it still does that.
As was mentioned, do not forget to use correct overlay:

If you want to understand what all buttons do with all modifiers:
http://www.azslow.com/index.php/topic,250.0.htmlDuring installation, do NOT set Input/Output to X-Touch, set both to "None" (till you are going to use it INSTEAD of MackieControl, which will bring you ACT dynamic mapping but also a ton of bugs in general functionality...). Open preferences, initialize "Mack.." preset, switch to the "Logic" tab. Here you can select any button in the "Logic control" to see what it is doing (the preset mirroring original MackieControl functionality, was created to test how hard that is but was never tested since I do not have Mackie devices and there was no other volunteers).
