playback starts at in point

Sequence in source window, mark in and out, insert into sequence in monitor. No matter where the playhead is parked in the timeline in the source, playback starts from in point. Why? An additional step of clearing the in and out will allow playhead to start from anywhere. This is not good.

"In your program monitor you can click on the WRENCH icon and uncheck LOOP. "

And to those saying to "simply" remove the in/outs for playback... you are mad!
It's simple yes, but my I/O's are there because that's the cut I like, I want to still be able to view the rest of the clip without removing them!!

so you've loaded a sequence in to the source monitor and when you hit "play" it jumps to the in point and plays from there?

I'm not saying it's not a problem, although I don't see it happening on my system, but there's a keyboard combo for clear in and out and that should only take you 1/4 of a second to hit before hitting "play." I don't mean to be snarkey, but is this a serious issue? Since I haven't seen anyone else reporting this behavior, we can dig in and try and figure out how to fix it... Have you tried resetting your preferences as Meg_The_Dog suggests? Maybe resetting your keyboard shortcuts? If neither of these things work, post back and we'll try some other things...

yes, for me a serious issue, that 1/4 second adds up over a day and muscle memory is hard to retrain...at the moment, it is not doing the thing I do not like. I did what Meg_the_Dog suggested but if my mind serves me right after I had trashed the preferences it persisted to start from the in point. I may have shut down after that and restarted and this problem is not there. Will repost if it occurs again. It feels like a keyboard shortcut (one of the millions in the shortcuts that you do not realize you have accidentally typed).

Did you ever get a solve for this? I just started experience this exact issue and it's driving me nuts. There's got to be a setting somewhere to turn that off.
