Display waveforms for audio clips while dragging

Very simple idea, while dragging audio clips on the timeline, continually show the waveform rather than showing a blank box. This functionality is present in Audition, and is incredibly useful for manual synchronization. See attached gif for further explanation of what I mean by the "blank box".

I'm aware you can sort of already achieve this by "nudging" the audio clip, but it would be great if this were always available when dragging. Thanks!

As a previous poster said, the flickering/refreshing of audio waveforms during playback/scrolling the timeline is maddening.

I find it hard to believe that caching waveforms for an entire sequence is a big task. If it just happened now and again it would be a mere annoyance, but when you're working all day it really does become very frustrating.

Everything in the interface should be as smooth as butter. Blinking waveforms, waiting for thumbnails to reload when scrolling in the project window, it just feels like you're fighting with a very buggy application.

Finally someone said that. Showing waveforms while dragging is a MUST.

This is something that has driven me crazy for years. The whole interface has this 1995 feel because of how everything has to be drawn and re-drawn. It would be nice to see some actual interactive interface improvements outside of a new coat of blue paint. This would be #1 for me.
