Default Piano roll opens at wrong position in song

Hi,

Not sure if this is a bug, potential feature request, user error, or just something that doesn't bother other people as much as me...

If I am looking at a MIDI track and I want to open the piano roll to edit a note, I double click onto the MIDI item, but the piano roll doesn't open at the position I want it to.

It would be perfect if it opened at either the place I double clicked, or where the time selection/arrow is.

Instead, the piano roll shows a seemingly random selection of the song, and so I have to zoom out to see where the time selection arrow is, and then zoom back into that point to continue editing.

It's starting to get a bit annoying - is there a way to fix this?

Thanks

I had this problem when I first started out with Reaper but for the life of me I can't remember how I sorted it other than the folks here helped:

FTC's zoom script is pretty cool. :-)

Meanwhile I've set a keyboard shortcut View: Go to edit cursor that I press when I'm opening ME.
