Activate play button with view selection

[Roan Jon]

Hi Igor,

When I click the play button in the preview window and let the video play all the way to the end,
then I click on a view. (The first time, everything works normally.)
If I repeat the process,
when I select a view, the video starts playing without me pressing the play button.

Can you reproduce this issue?

I agree, it does what you show.
But I never click the Play Button. I always just click in the mini Preview window - Left Click to play in that window, or Right Click to Play Fullscreen.

You need to Click the Preview Window again or Press the Spacebar to stop play.

It was the same in PTE11 & PTE10.
But it is not something I have ever really been aware of & it has most likely always worked this way in all the previous versions.
I have been using PTE since V3.

Thank you for your comment.
I agree, everyone can use PTE however they like.
And it’s not really that important.

But I think the purpose of this forum is to report any issues.
And if I can help improve this wonderful software, I’d be very happy to do so.

Sorry for my English, it was translated by a text translator.

Yes the Forum is to report issues.

But I do not think this is a Bug, it has always worked this way.
Once you start the Playback, you have to Click again (or Press Spacebar) to stop it.

If you Play in Fullscreen, then you need to Press Esc to stop Playback.

Hi Roan,

Thanks for your message. I've reproduced this issue in V12 and also in V11.

We'll try to fix it.
