#99 focus following playhead too late
When I middle-click to a position and then play a song then the first screen change comes one bar too late. The following screen changes are ok.
Please see the screencast: http://youtu.be/V0SdUULyyQI
it's intentional behavior, working as design, since >= 0.6.0, see change-log:
(aka. auto-scroll view mode) on hold, while doing in-flight
selection edit moves.
which means that the follow-playhead behavior (aka. auto-scroll) will be put on hold temporarily (~3secs) before it skips to next screen whenever you make at least one select/edit action over the current while playback is rolling.
main reason for this is just convenience: it let's you stay in focus on the screen you're probably about to proceed with some more changes for awhile, before it scrolls to the next--at least it gives you that slack amount of time to decide whether to do something there or just let it go ;)
cheers

Thanks. Since it irritates me I made a patch to set QTRACTOR_SYNC_VIEW_HOLD to 0.
Maybe you could make it configurable some time in Options->Display?

configuration option added. svn trunk [r3821] aka. qtractor v0.6.0.7+
cheers
