Timeline jumps back to playhead anytime I click while playback / I press play or stop
PP2022
I am not sure if this has always been like that, or if it's a new thing but it's driving me nuts.
For example:
I watch my edit in the timeline and then in some part I zoom in to inspect some detail while it keeps playing. If I now hit pause the timeline automatically jumps to where the playhead has moved to while I was inspecting and away from the section I was looking at. I would like the timeline to stay on the section I was looking at.
If I click in the timeline in order to relocate the playhead while it's playing, it will always jump to the current playhead's position and not where I clicked.
In order to achieve this I always have to zoom out, so that the playhead is visible, then stop, move the playhead to where I want to be and zoom out.
This has cost me so much time and I am about to lose my mind about it. I really can't remember ever having this problem in 15 years of editing.
I hope I am making myself understand. I have been searching extensively on the internet but I don't even know how to name this problem.
For a moment I thought that "selection follows playhead" was the solution but it really wasn't. I am also under the impression, that sometime for some reason it will work just as I want and remember it, but then it will go back. Maybe I am hitting some secret key without knowing it.
Your help is highly appreciate. If you don't understand please ask,
Thanks
