Description Steve Daulton 2020-03-15 17:55:56 UTC

Tested on Linux.

By default, the track should scroll to keep the cursor visible during Loop Quick-Play. This does not happen.
This is a regression against 2.3.2.

Same on Win and Mac

Whether it stays or not depends on the discussion on -quality.

Looks good on Linux.

(In reply to Leland Lucius from comment #2)
Tested on W10 and macOS 10.15.4 with bc3a878

Looks food now on both platforms scrolling properly

With QA hat on I vote that this stays.
