dipole alpha dependence of massive dipole subtraction broken

Reported by: marek Owned by: support@sherpa-mc.de
Priority: major Milestone: rel-2.0.0
Component: Unknown Version: 1.4.0

Description

Running pp->Wbb production with massive b-quarks renders the subtraction dependent on the choice of DIPOLE_ALPHA, or more specifically DIPOLE_ALPHA_FF. All other dipole alphas, dipole kappa and dipole-nf-gluon splittings parameters seem to work:

Curiously, ee->bb seems to work.
