Timeline jumps back to playhead anytime I click while playback / I press play or stop

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

Welp, this problem had gone away for months, and just yesterday started up again without any update or changes.

 

Seriously frustrating. I was so happy it had gone away.

Yep! This remains an open issue that is still NOT FIXED.

 

TAKE NOTE ENGINEERS: bug occurs when in "no scroll" mode in the timeline settings. Condition: the playhead rolls offscreen during playback(as intended) and stopping playback with the SPACEBAR causes the timeline to scroll an entire page to the right. This has been broken since 2021

 

For those who are on the brink of insanity, a workaround that has continued to make me sane: Set a hotkey for "move playhead to cursor" and try and use that instead of spacebar to stop playback.

 

This bug is so fundamental that it breaks the function of the SPACEBAR.

 

Please please please Adobe engineers, fix this!
