Cursor in arrange window won't move when track is playing

Hi,
Can anyone help with this problem I'm having with Logic? I've been away from making tracks for a few weeks and now that I'm trying to use logic again I'm finding that cursor is not moving when I play a track, both in a new session and in old sessions. I am able to move the cursor by double clicking on the bottom part of the ruler but it doesn't scroll as it should during play. Is this a bug and do I need to reinstall logic or did I inadvertently set something to the wrong setting?
thanks a lot for your help,
Mike
p.s. I am running logic 7.1 on an IMac G5

imac G5, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Are you referring to the mouse or the SPL marker in the arrange window? Please elaborate.

The function you probably want is called Catch. Check out:

Logic Pro > Preferences > Global

There's a tab there (called Catch) that allows you to turn Catch off and on - check out the manual for detailed comments on the three options available.

Also, on the Arrange Window there's a button in the top left corner - looks like a person walking. If that's grey, the Catch function is turned off. If blue, the Catch function will operate.
