User level: Level 1 (9 points)I updated to Logic Pro version 12.4 today and can no longer shift+click in the timeline to move the playhead, a feature I found very useful for quickly and easily moving the playhead to review edits on the fly.
I'm unsure whether this is an issue with my Mac or if anyone else is missing this. There's no mention of it in the update notes so I wonder if this is a bug. I don't see why it would be removed as it was much easier than clicking in the timeline ruler at the top of the project window.

If you click on the division markers area of the timeline ruler, the Playhead will move to where you click.
If you click in the empty area above the ruler division tick marks, then the Playhead won't move.
Hope this helps!

Hi
This would appear to be a (new) bug:

Broadly speaking, there are 2 types of key commands in Logic: 'user-definable' ones via Logic Pro >Key Commands, and other 'hard-wired' ( non-customisable) ones.
The Shift click to move Playhead function is one of the 'hard-wired' ones.

creo que nos complicaron el flujo de trabajo a muchos usuarios de logic pro, esperemos que corrijan el error.
nunca pensé extrañarte tanto (shift ± clic) 😭😭

both the LP 12.4 update and Golden Gate update seem to have issues that i did not experience prior to the update. it has been a very frustrating day! i ended up shutting off the auto update for iOS and the App Store auto update as of today.

I have the same issue. Been using the feature for many years... Hopefully they will change/fix it! :)

just to continue the conversation the latest user manual states that but it certainly is not true.

it is complicated at times and the use of the option and control keys further causes the issue imo.

Good find! This definitely makes me think it's unintentional.

Very irritating. Guess I'll have to downgrade.

I'm also having this issue. Any resolution yet?

I don’t think so. I really hope the function comes back. I kept an older version also 11.2.2 and tried it again, that shift-click function is so practical.
