Play button disappears as soon as its stopped

[Jay Dak]

This has been an ongoing issue, and it is very counter productive. When a clip is stopped, the play button disappears. I've uploaded two screenshots of how it looks.

Please fix this. It is very frustrating. Resetting the workspace is not a solution.

The first screenshot is the program monitor, the second one is the References monitor, which does not have a play button.

Is there a way to prevent the monitor from switching after stopping a clip? The only way I can get the play button to reappear (or have it switch back to the program monitor?) is by moving my position on the timeline, and having to do that every time is very frustrating.

If you dont use the Reference panel close it.

I see now how I am able to deselect the reference panel. Thank you for the help, this should resolve my issue.

Thanks for responding.

I'm not sure after which update this has been happening, but it's been happening for a few months. I can temporarily resolve this issue by resetting the Workspace, but that is not a reasonable solution. This only happens when I click the stop button. I've added two screenshots to show what I'm talking about.

Please fix this.

I have the exact same issue. Super frustrating. Happened after the last update.

This continues to be a problem. If it is not going to be fixed, then I would hope to at least get a response to this.

I was able to resolve this issue by selecting between program monitor and references monitor directly above my video. Selecting Program brings back the play button.

I am guessing you are using the Reference monitor incorrect, as there should not be an issue with the play button.
