The playhead is moving outside the visible timeline

Help
1

I don’t know why, but after using Kdenlive for a while, the playhead moves outside the visible timeline.
The problem is resolved by restarting the Kdenlive program.
Is this caused by a setting change that I am unaware of, or is it a program bug?
Is there any other solution besides restarting the program?

Can you please provide a screenshot (or video clip) so I can know what you’re talking about?

It’s actually quite simple. When a video is played or keyboard shortcuts are used to move the playhead (Home, End, Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+End, Shift+Right, etc.), the playhead can end up in an invisible position.

Normally, when the playhead moves, the timeline should automatically scroll to keep it visible. This seems like a bug in Kdenlive’s timeline behavior.

I’m on Windows 11, I can’t exactly replicate what you mean. It seems to work fine on my end.
