Pitch presets not saving correctly

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
Okay, more issues related to using an ancient version. It's similar to a problem I documented in this forum just three or four days ago. I'll copy the relevant info for convenience's sake: I'm running 1.0.2 on Windows 8.1 x64 PC.

In this one track I have many (20+) instruments and samples pitched shifted individually (as opposed to a master pitch shift). They're almost all about set at around, say, +66 cents but there are a few exceptions.

I've noticed that upon 1) saving, exiting LMMS, and reopening the file at a later time AND 2) exporting this file to a wav, the aforementioned presets totally glitch up. As in, the pitch knobs are visually set at where I left them, yet the sound I hear from playback is clearly that of 0 modulation.

The tedious and barely tolerable solution is using my mouse wheel to "jigger" the knobs, if you follow me, and this seems to "wake" them again back to their correct functionality. Of course, this means I have to do this for ALL affected instruments.

P.S. musikbear recommended me just to get the newest version of software. I'm all for this idea, but I had planned to keep messing around with 1.0.2 until I get fully acquainted with the newer version. The reason for my hesitance is I have never seen perfect backwards compatibility between any two versions of software, consoles, electronics, etc. and I am afraid that something goes wrong, and old can't be replicated in the new. I fully admit this could be a perfectly paranoid and unfounded obsession that's holding me back, though.

If only it was true, it is not. it is indeed a bug

Yes. there seems to be a problem with pitch in zasfx and also export

So if you manually move the pitch to 'something', then it will 'flip to' the correct value, is that correct?

I would choose a method that is a 'one-time-all-fixed'
I uses this method in this video

Here i uses it as a method to preserve VST settings, but it will work fine for your issue

true, but only downgrading is an issue with LMMS, and is not recommended
Iow: "Dont try this at home"
Downgrading is baaaaaad
No, but upgrading to 1.1.3 has been done by most here and i have done it without problems MANY times!
