Elements on timeline cannot be edited properly: random jumping from one sequence to the next

Hej all, 
I’m using Adobe Express web version on Google Chrome. There has been an update recently which has changed the display of timelines and -timings of elements on a sequence when editing a video. What has worked good in the previous design is now an absolute pain; if I wish to shift the timing of an element on one sequence, for whichever reason the selection jumps to the previous sequence. It is also not possible to move the time-cursor every now and then. I have attached a short screen-video of said problem.
I would appreciate it if it’d be fixed soon as it seriously impairs my work. Thank you!

      This is a major issue for me also. I would be busy moving a clip or object and then poof! suddenly scrolls elsewhere on the timeline by itself, and then I have to drag the scrollbar back halfway across the screen to get back to the point I was busy editing. It is a huge timewaster and highly frustrating and this happens very frequently, regardless of what pc I am editing with. I’ve tried this with 3 different computers, a pc, and two different laptops.

      Hi ​@LCS, thanks for the detailed report and the screen recording, that's really helpful for us to see exactly what's happening.

      Sorry this is impairing your work, especially since it sounds like it used to work fine. I'm going to pass this along to our team to investigate the timeline/sequence selection jumping behavior you're describing.

      A couple of questions to help narrow it down:

      • What version of Chrome are you using?
      • Have you tried this in an incognito window, or after clearing your cache, to see if it makes a difference?

      I don't have a timeline for a fix yet, but I'll keep this thread updated as we learn more. In the meantime, if you're able to note roughly when you first noticed the change, that would help us narrow it down as well.

        Hi Rose. Thank you for the reply to this submission. I need to add that I have reported this issue as well. I have three different computers and it happens on all three, regardless of whether I am using the app, or whichever type of browser (Chrome, Brave, Internet Explorer). It is actually a frequent occurrence and I get it quite bad. It would jump to near the end of the timeline without warning and then I have to keep dragging the scroll bar back to search where I was busy editing. It is a huge time waster. 

         

        Thank you for looking into this
