Behaviour of playhead during playback

[Frans Marks]

Today I noticed that during playback (preview) in the edit page the playhead went to the end of the screen and then stopped after which the clips in the timeline started moving under the fixed playhead (playhead fixed at end of the screen) Or the playhead stopped at a random place on the timeline after which the timeline started moving under the fixed playhead. Normaly until now the playhead moved to the end of the screen and jumped back halfway with the timeline to then move over the timeline again to the end of the screen etc. Maybe I touched a wrong shortcut for this behaviour to change and I think somtimes this can be very handy, but I realy don’t know how or where I can change this setting.

I know that I can lock the playhead in the middle, but that is not the issue. But I already found an answer. If You show the keyframes underneath the timeline the playhead will from that moment on stop when reaching the end of the window and stay there while the timeline scrolls underneath it. So it does not stay in the middle, it stays at the end of the timeline window. The only way to reset this as far as I have been able to find is to restart DaVinchi Resolve.
