[CP2K-user] Printing MO_CUBE during Ehrenfest Molecular Dynamics (EMD)

Hi to All,
I running the EMD simulation using the following input file (which is
modified from  "tests/QS/regtest-rtp-3/H2O_excit_emd.inp").  The simulation
is running smoothly, but I am unable to print the MO during EMD simulation.
I am interested in studying the evolution of molecular orbitals with time.
My input is given below.

To print MO orbitals in cube format, I have used following  block.
However, CP2k prints MO at the initial SCF cycle, not during the EMD (for
every 2nd MD step). I also couldn't  print  energies of MD also during EMD.
     &MO_CUBES
          NHOMO 1
          NLUMO 1
          WRITE_CUBE .true.
        &EACH
          MD 2
        &END
      &END

But, within the same DFT/PRINT, the following block prints
ELECTRON_DENSITY  and SPIN_DENSITY in cube format during EMD simulation
(for every 2nd MD step).
      &E_DENSITY_CUBE
        &EACH
          MD 2
        &END
      &END

I wish to know, Is there any limitation to obtain the MO during EMD ?
Or is it possible to print MO during EMD simulations. I greatly appreciate
your response. Thanks a lot.

With regards,
kamal.
