Source playhead should follow position in transcript window.

The transcript window is fantastic for being able to quickly scroll through interview footage in order to select sections and add them to a sequence. However, the process is hindered by the fact that the source playhead does not move while scrolling the transcript text. This means that if, while scrolling, I click away from the transcript window to the timeline, I can easily lose my place, forcing me to have to manually scroll to find my last position.

Moving the source playhead scrolls the text in the transcript window. It would be great if this relationship were reciprocal.

"Follow active monitor" checkbox is in the bottom left of the Transcript tab.

Where did you find the "follow active monitor" setting?

I note that unselecting "follow active monitor" is helpful in improving the experience described above. So much so, I'd like to delete the post. Alas, Adobe does not allow posts to be deleted for some reason...
