Automatic Clip Selection Problem

There is a helpful feature when there are several clips on a track. When you stop the moving scrubber on a clip, that clip becomes selected. This feature works well and then it stops working. The only way I can get that feature working is to close the project and open it again. Is there a better way to get that feature going again?

It's also important that you have your tracks toggle on in your sequence. Maybe this goes wrong?

You can use the Sequence > Selection Follows Playhead option to toggle this feature on and off. This setting controls whether a clip is automatically selected when the playhead moves over it in the timeline.
