hi there! i have also had this problem for at least as long as this thread has existed, so i wish to bump this — not only for that reason, but also because the problem has actually gotten
worse after a more recent update. (i want to say somewhere around 6.1-6.2, but it's hard to be sure.)
at the time of this post, the media player not only scrolls back to the selected file when scrolling while it is playing; instead, it immediately scrolls rapidly back and forth
every time a new file plays! here is an example:
as you can imagine, this problem has come to make working with samples a sadly frustrating experience lately.
i should also point out that this issue only occurs when previewing files that have not yet been previewed in the media explorer. when going back to preview a file additional times, it no longer triggers the rapid scrolling. after having tested browsing the same samples in the media explorer a day later, this seems to hold true both between sessions
and between reboots.
that last detail made me wonder if this issue has something to do with .REAPEAKS files, so i looked a little deeper. and, after testing this theory, it would indeed seem that this glitch occurs
only with files that do not yet have an associated .REAPEAKS file.
i hope there is some solution to this issue! in the past i have been able to tolerate the specific problem mordi pointed out in the OP, but this more recent development of rapidly scrolling every time a new file is previewed makes my head spin. (6~9)
my current version of reaper is 6.34 x64, operating on windows 10 pro x64, OS 19042.1165. thank you!
