Default Cursor + Grid +TC = playback issue

Hello All,
Ive searched but couldnt find mention of this anywhere.

My very stable PPC G5 DP 2.ghz 7.4cs9 rig did something strange thats either a bug or a limitation that Ive never seen in 10 or so years.


when in grid mode, [time code scale], my cursor will not work beyond 11:25:39;08. I can click anywhere beyond that, and the location window still shows 11:39:25;08, and plays from there.

If I change the grid scale to any other value, [samples,bars beats,mis etc] it works as you would expect it to.

If I got to slip mode, I can place the cursor anywhere and it acts as you would expect it to.

While in grid TC mode, I can select/highlight a region beyond 11:25:39;08 and it plays as you would expect it to.

Changing frame rate does not solve the issue.

FWIW:

To the best of my knowledge this is not a linking/unlinking edit/timeline issue.
These files live within the 12 hour PT limit.
no file is larger than the 2gb limit.
I have trashed prefs, and imported tracks to fresh session without a fix.
This happens on every old session I open or every new one I create.

any clues would be really appreciated

You are not bonkers. PT is buggy towards the end of the 12 window. I always work in Timecode as I am post and this has repeatedly bitten me in the butt.

Change your session start time

Avid - please fix this. It has been broken since PT 7 and I have demoed it some of your staff!
