Has activating scrolling timeline in Command Post changed?

I haven't used scrolling timeline for a while and I couldn't find the button to activate it.


A web search revealed that command-option-control -W will activate or deactivate the function.


What has happened to the button?

I have the same version 1.4.17.


Are you seeing this when Final Cut Pro is running as the frontmost application?

That detail is crucial.


Here is CommandPost menu, when Safari is in front - the Final Cut Pro section only shows "Language":




And here is CommandPost when Final Cut Pro is in front - notice the menu is very different, it shows "Viewer" and "Timeline", and the Scrolling Timeline item is present now:

Where do you get that screenshot? I used to see something like that but now this is what I get from the menubar.



If I open the FCP preferences I get this which has no mention of the scrolling timeline.



The only way I was able to enable it was after a web search where I discovered the command-option-control -W method.


Are you using an older version? Mine is v. 1.4.17 ?
