Cursor auto return

Postby Jonathon Stevens » Thu Feb 18, 2010 09:33

Very often when playing back audio I use View-> Scroll timeline Left or Right to manually scroll the edit window so I can see what's coming up. However when I have cursor auto return turned on, which I often do, and I scroll the timeline manually during playback, the timeline display jumps back after I've stopped playback to where it was before playback started, even if the cursors original location is still visible in the edit window.

It would be really nice if the timeline display did not auto return on playback stop, so long as the location the cursor is returning to is still visible in the timeline on playback stop. Does this make sense? hard to describe, but it's getting really annoying. Just try it out and see for yourself.

This "jumpiness" It is the main reason I dont use autoretun-after-play. And on the same level of thought: When using the default cursorbehaviour, make the display scroll before the cursor moves out of the screen! This is really a technician pov and not an operators pov.
