Markers snapping away from Current Time Indicator

I use timeline markers (not layer markers) a lot for a big project. It helps me sort out the different parts that I want to export individually. I love all the customisation options for the markers, so feature-wise I'd say I'm more than happy.

 

There is a bug that makes using the markers frustrating. When zooming in on my timeline to fine-tune the end point of a timeline marker, the end-point snaps away from the cursor. It doesn't matter if I hold SHIFT or not, when zoomed-in, it will always snap away.

    Hi there,

     

    Thanks for writing in, and sorry for the delayed response. I tested this on my end and it seems to be working as expected for me, so I'd like to gather a few more details to help us replicate the issue:

    1. Are you on macOS or Windows?
    2. Does this happen on a specific project, or across all of them?
    3. Have you tried running After Effects in Safe Mode with third-party plugins disabled? Any change in behavior there?

    Looking forward to your reply.

     

    Thanks,

    Nishu
