8.0.4 new unlinked bug?

[Mark the amazing guy]

Apologies if this has been posted already- I couldn't find anything about it.

When working with Timeline and Edit selection unlinked, if you

-select an area with edit selection, then
-move your timeline marker,

your edit selection gets wiped every time.

Can anyone else confirm this, or know of a workaround?

Well Mark, I saw this just today. Oddly enough, it's not the selection that gets wiped (the markers are still where they were in the timecode track). PT is actually deselecting the tracks that were selected. If you have track selection follows edit selection enabled, you can reselect the tracks and you'll see that your selection has not been lost.

And, not to be a stickler for the rules, but you might get some more responses if you specify your system specs. See the "Help us help you" sticky in the PTHD Mac OSX forum.

Good luck. I usually don't work in unlinked.

Mark - Thanks for the report. We've been able to verify this and will get it in the queue for a fix asap.

The best work around we can find (and it’s not really a valid workaround) is activating “Link Track and Edit Selection” and then when your edit selection has been blown away from the timeline just selecting the track again remakes the selection (it’s still stored in the timeline, just not in the edit).
