Weird timeline UI bug in after effects 26

In After Effects Beta 26 on Windows 11, when I use a protected region marker and scroll the timeline, the left side takes the color of the first protected region marker. It disappears weirdly when I hover my mouse.

The behavior starts when I scroll the timeline to the right, where the layers or timeline go behind the left panel or layer properties panel. At that moment, the panel takes the first marker/protected region label color, and hovering my mouse over it makes the color vanish at that spot.

I can also draw on it in circles to try to remove it faster, but it behaves inconsistently.

That is strange! Are you getting this issue in the latest official version as well? Can you try running After Effects in Safe Mode with third-party plug-ins disabled?

Let me know how it goes.


Thanks,
