Still getting the flickering play-head/inactive timeline issue

Still getting this flickering playhead issue. My interface basically become inactive when this happens. I've done everything: Update graphics card, updated Adobe Premiere and reworked my cache and ram. I've configured the graphics on the computer for Premiere and udated the C++ preview files. There is really no workaround for this?  (Video of what is happening attached)

      Yes, I can confirm the problem. I'm not sure what causes it. I usually just quit PP and reload it. My project and footage are on two nvme drives, so it loads pretty quick.

        Can you file this on User Voice, por favor. I don't see a good bug up there on this.

         Try resetting the preferences:

        FAQ: How to reset preferences in Premiere Pro?

        If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:

        Reset a workspace

        Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.

        1. Do one of the following:
          • Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout. 
          • Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

          Does this also happen with regular footage such as 1920x1080 in a matching seqeunce.

          Not sure, but it doesn't really apply. I specifically work in 1080/1350, 1080/1080 and 1080/1920 sequences.

          Hi, did you ever solve the problem? (other than reseting pref or reinstall ppro) I notice my playhead flashes when I condense a large sequence. It seems to be a warning for something, but I can't figure it out. I have 32gb ram, so it can't be a memory issue.... I'll have an SD sequence, upscaled to 1080p, only 4 mins long, and as I condense the timeline it flashes... when I expand it, it goes away. Also, the flash gets slower as I expand. It seems to be a controlled situation, but why? what does it mean?

           

          Added note:  I muted all the audio tracks and the flashing stopped.   Something to do with wave files.
