Has anyone found that sometimes after quickly clicking a place, it plays the place marked previously?
Not a huge problem, but I did encounter it.
Using Mac 10.4.11 and 1.3.12 beta.

Re: Clicking and Playing
If you click in the time bar above the track that's exactly what it's supposed to do - it's a feature.

It's "fake scrubbing."

Re: Clicking and Playing
Just incase I wasn't clear 
:
I quickly (though not too quickly) click a place on the track and press play using the spacebar. The previously marked point sometimes plays instead of the new point.
I typed in "fake scrubbing" in Google, but couldn't seem to find anything.

Re: Clicking and Playing
That's an inside joke. No, it does that to me, too. You'll find there's a magic time when it fails. If you wait longer than that time, the playback will follow you and if you do it really fast, it follows you, too. It seems to only fail at the editing rhythm that I use every day which is annoying, and yes, it ignores you and plays the old selection point.
It doesn't happen that way on both computers, so it may be a problem connected to computer memory or speed.
