Why are my tracks resampling to mono? (Suspected bug)

Hello friends.
I resampled a completed project yesterday and the resulting file is mono when I load it on my PC. Have I changed a setting without realising? If so, how can I change it back to stereo?
Thanks as always for the advice,
Joe

Well that's odd. I just tried again, only using the REC+PLAY method instead of the SHIFT+REC...PLAY method. I'm back to a stereo render.
Is that the intended behaviour, or is it a bug?
Actually no, it is still rendering 4 out of every 5 resamples to mono.
I'm trying to replicate it, but there's, no connection to which button combination I used to start resampling, no whether I stop playback before recording. I tried it on an older project with the same issue.
It smells like a bug. I'll do a firmware refresh in a day or two but I'll leave it as is for now, in case I can be of any use in pinpointing the bug.
Yes, it's definitely a bug. It only resamples the left channel. It's happening about to about 75% of resamples, with no immediately apparent correlation to anything I'm doing.
I haven’t noticed an issue with this before, so I checked the files in my resample folder. I found that most were stereo files and a few were mono. But the mono samples all had something in common. They are all mono sounds. Like a bass with no stereo effects or a dry vocal recording. I’m not certain, but it seems the Deluge can tell if there’s no stereo information and then creates a mono file when resampling.
Could this be what you’re experiencing or is there stereo content that’s missing?
Thanks for the quick reply.
There's definitely stereo content missing. It happens when I render complete tunes.
As an experiment I made a simple stereo tune, with two synths panned hard left and hard right. The resampled mono audio contained only the left synth.
I'll do that now and see if it fixes it...
I can't replicate the problem, so it was either fixed in the code or the act of reflashing the firmware reset whatever got corrupted.
Interestingly I noticed that when in resampling mode, the internal speaker only plays the left channel, rather than the summed L+R. But the resampled audio is still stereo.
Thanks again for the help @Too_Mere . Fingers crossed I won't encounter the issue again.
