Adobe this timeline problem is frustrating and has gone on long enough

This drives me nuts, I shouldn't have to work around it. We pay for this. It ruins any kind of workflow where I need to stay on a specific part of the timeline. When I press pause, the timeline view jumps to where the playhead is in the the timeline. There is no way to turn this off. I do not want it. It's pointless. I lose so much time to this one dumb thing. Fix it, it's easy to fix. People have been complaining for years. There is no good reason why I cannot turn this feature off.

I'm not exactly sure what series of actions you are taking.

Preferences>Timeline>Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling:

Do you have this set to No Scroll?

So you're playing beyond the visible part of the timeline and you don't want to jump to the playhead when you hit pause?

Can you set an In point and then hit Shift+I to jump back to where you started after you've hit pause?

You can also just click on the timeline to pause and the playhead will jump to where you clicked.

Yes auto-scrolling is off. There is no option. Creating an in point everytime would be absurd. Currently I am clicking to pause to go around it, but that's dumb. I should be able to just toggle the feature on/off. I like hotkeys. There are so many simple quality of life changes that should be addressed. Another thing that really bugs me. When I zoom in, it zooms in on where my cursor is at, that's great. But when I zoom out, it zooms out from the center of my timeline, not from the cursor. What a wild oversight.

I don't think this is a feature that is likely to be implemented. It's more likely to confuse users and draw complaints since it would allow a situation whereby the timeline viewer is seemingly disconnected from the playhead. I'm not sure why the user would want to look at one part of a timeline whilst playing a section elsewhere? Users would end up lost and having to hunt for the playhead.

I appreciate you are not trying to do this...but this feature would allow this predicament to happen.

I have the same issue. It's too tedious.
