Found a bug or simply a feature request then...

While having 2 timelines stacked on top of one another, if one drags a clip from on timline to another, the new timeline that the clip is being moved to should be in focus. Instead, one has to then click anywhere inside the new timeline to activate it again. Hope that makes sense. It is slowing down my workflow. I know I am not the only one that this is happening to. I work on a team of 4 Editors. Thank you for help. Happy Friday!

This shows how user options are so useful.

 

You like working that way, yet for a ton of people working with pancake timelines, they use it for doing stringout selects to a new timeline.

 

For that workflow, you do not want the focus to move to the second timeline, as you're going down the 'main' stringout sequence to get selected bits. You drag/drop (typically up) and hit playback or scrub expencting to keep going down the main stringout timeline to select the next bit.

 

Those many users would be enraged at a change as you request.

 

But ... as a user option, it would be fantastic.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
