Shift click in project no longer moves playhead

Question

Shift click in project no longer moves playhead

I updated to Logic Pro version 12.4 today and can no longer shift+click in the timeline to move the playhead, a feature I found very useful for quickly and easily moving the playhead to review edits on the fly.

I'm unsure whether this is an issue with my Mac or if anyone else is missing this. There's no mention of it in the update notes so I wonder if this is a bug. I don't see why it would be removed as it was much easier than clicking in the timeline ruler at the top of the project window.

MacBook Pro (M3 Pro, 2023)

If you click on the division markers area of the timeline ruler, the Playhead will move to where you click.

If you click in the empty area above the ruler division tick marks, then the Playhead won't move.

Hope this helps!

Hi

This would appear to be a (new) bug:

creo que nos complicaron el flujo de trabajo a muchos usuarios de logic pro, esperemos que corrijan el error.

nunca pensé extrañarte tanto (shift ± clic) 😭😭

both the LP 12.4 update and Golden Gate update seem to have issues that i did not experience prior to the update. it has been a very frustrating day! i ended up shutting off the auto update for iOS and the App Store auto update as of today.
