Yet one question.

How to disable scrolling window horizontally when playback head is on part of song which is outside of visible part of song.

This is terrible irritating, when I working of part of song and listen full song - song scrolls to currently playing part of song, when i hold region and trying to resize it.

Transport -> Follow Playhead

deactivate it, and the window will no longer scroll to keep the playhead in view.

it used to be simple: press the F key to toggle on and off this feature. But things have changed a bit. I don’t recall what it is now (Shift+F or Alt+F or something like that) but you can always adjust this option from the main Transport menu (top left of the editor window in the main menu bar).

The shortcut is Shift+F.

In my UbuntuStudio version, it’s ctrl+f to follow playhead.
I’m using 14.04.2 version of UbuntuStudio.
