Bug Summary

When rightclicking on a postion on the automation track from the somg edior screen it does not open track automation at that point.

Also when clicking on play in automation editor screen, the screen stays at current position ,instead of going to the right and having a posttion line moving along. Like in the song editor.

Expected Behaviour

It should go to the requeted position. Now you have to manually find the current song position in the automation track. Not handy.
Also when editing the automation, it would be nice that when you press play, it would move along with the song as in the song editor screen.

Steps To Reproduce

In song editor screen, set cursor at a postion. Then right click on the automation track and select open in automation track

When pressing play in automation track, let it run along with the song.

I have a PR which would add this feature to both automation clips and midi clips, though I ran into an issue with it and put it on the back burner for now: #6818

Nightly?
Playhead in Automation-editor is not implemented in my 1.3-alpha

Hi yes, nightly.

Hi yes, nightly.

Ok that make sense.
what happens if you place a tiny loop in song-editor , open Automation-editor and then press play. Does the play jump to correct pos in Automation-editor?

It is Highly confusing that everything past 1.22 is tagged 1.3 weather its Master or Nightly or even some test from private repo.
