Timeline dragging does not show a wireframe of clip position

See attached video. In one of my projects, performance in general is particularly bad (4k media mixed with mp4's in timeline I believe is the problem). But when you select clips and try to move them around in the timeline, the clips remain where they were shown. The clips are being moved, but you can't see them. Definitely a bug.

    The audio render works a charm, just remember to keep doing it when u make a change to the audio eachtime.

    I just want to point out that technically finding a workaround for a bug isn't a "fix", only Adobe can actually fix the bug. Don't say that things "fix" it or they'll think they can just ignore the bug and never patch it out since there's a "solution" to it anyway.

    I was able to fix this bug using the drop down menu "Sequence > Render Audio".

    Happened to me on 4/13/21 V15.1. I found it would happen when I nested clips. The solution I discovered was deleting the nested clip's audio track. Interestingly, the waveform would also disappear when everything would act up. Re-enforcing the possibly of it being an issue with the waveform cache.

    Intermediary fix:

    Timeline → Wrench → Turn Off Audio Waveforms

    Similar to the previous comment, this also started happening to me after the update mentioned. However I am not using multicam so the issue must not stem from that. But my issue did go away if I deleted all of the sequences where the waveform was completely blank despite audio being present. Shown in my screenshot, all of these sequences have audio in them, it's fairly often that they will have the 'flat' waveform despite this, but the two in the center that are just a blank green rectangle are the ones that seem to be causing the issue since it stops once those are deleted.
    The first and second sequences look nearly identical in the way of having the same file types in each, one video layer with a .mov and one audio layer that is a .wav. The files source from the same camera and microphone, and the audio has been edited in audition. So I don't think the files within the sequence are the cause of the issue.
    These sequences maintain the blank waveform when being added to the parent sequence again, and the duplicates of them also have the same issue.

    this was happening to me just after the newest update yesterday (version 15.1.0 (build 48).

    turning off Audio waveform works. I also figured out that one audio clip was causing the sequence from creating the wireframe. It was a multicam audio sequence that was showing up as a blank on the timeline, so I flattened it, and the audio waveform reappeared and the wireframe issue disappeared. This solved the issue for me. Hope this helps someone else!

    If I duplicate the sequence this usually resolves the issue.
