Playhead Snapping to Random Places in Timeline 232.4

Hi,

 

Not sure what's up with this new quirk, but as I edit in 23.4 the playhead seems to snap to a radom point in the timeline after each edit. I went through menus looking for anything that might have changed, but nothing so far is jumping out at me. It seems to pick one place and always go to that place, but I'm not sure why. It is a Windows 10 Pro machine, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.71 GHz, 32 GB of RAM. I will add it is a heavily managed machine by corporate IT, but have never had this quirk before. Thanks!

    Try this:

    Restore default preferences
    Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements Editor displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file could be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.

    I've been experiencing this as well. Really frustrating. Sometimes it seems like a hypersensitive mouse issue, but I can't pinpoint exactly how it happens. Sometimes my playhead snaps to a particular subtitle at a different point in my sequence or toggles to another open sequence.
