I used to think it did it more often when recording something- but I think I just notice it more. It used to drive me nuts, but I'm so used to it by now that I don't think about it anymore. Hitting the space bar on and off puts it back where (or, near where) it belongs, and that's an automatic response for me now.
Interesting, and thanks for posting. It's still happening here but only once or twice a day and in my case there's no recording going on. It's not a big enough deal to stress over and I do the same space bar move you do to get it to jump back.

Not in front of DP8 now, but there is a command to view the wiper or counter location. I use this regularly in the situation you describe. It's a sanity saver.

I had a look around and didn't spot that one but the quick double tap on the spacebar works and is a no-brainer to recall. As always- more than one way...
Sometimes I just hit numeric 4 to pre-roll where I was anyway.

The command is "Scroll to Counter". It is unassigned by default. Works like a charm :)

Wow I hadn't thought of that!

It might be the best way for me.. I'd probably rather go backwards a little, than forward a little with the spacebar trick.. on the other hand, scroll to counter will put you right in-between!

This is why I love DP- we have a little bug that has at least 3 different workarounds, depending on the result you want. :lol:

Already happened 3 times in the last hour or so. Always jumps back ~10-20 seconds before where the wiper is parked and always jumps back in time, not forward. SEEMS to happen more when a plug-in window is open. I'm trying to gather as much info as I can before reporting to MOTU, so if anyone that has been experiencing this can give any particulars of when it seems to happen or what seems to trigger it, please post here and I'll include that info- or report to MOTU yourself if you want.
Thanks,
Phil

I don't know if it was mentioned, but this happens to me in the Tracks Overview window as well as the sequence editor. In fact, the TO is where it irritates me the most, because it happens when I'm tracking (doing multiple takes or punching in), especially when I record myself. While doing that, speed is of the essence for me, and this little glitch really gets in the way.
