Time keeps reverting to zero after adding markers

[jerryh8097617]

I am adding markers to a clip in the source monitor panel with the waveform view, to mark where speech appears vs. music. Every time I add a marker, the current time pointer reverts to 00:00 and I lose my place. I have to go searching through the markers and try to find where I last was.

Why does the timeline revert to zero when adding a marker in waveform view? Is this a bug?

When I change back to the video view and add a marker, the current time does not revert to zero.

Try resetting the preferences:

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.

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Thank you @Peru Bob for the suggestions. I was inspired to try this, which worked: create a new project and import the video to add markers to; the problem was no longer present! 

I also tried the option to reset the workspace which didn't work.

I chose not to try trashing preferences, because I didn't want to lose my settings just yet, but it sounds like that would have worked for the original project, so I'll keep that trick in my back pocket.

Glad to hear you've got it working.
