Summary0010043: Timecode clock(s) can stop working
DescriptionChanging a Preference setting can stop the timecode clocks from working.
Steps To ReproduceThis is reproducible here, even with internal timecode:-

1) Open your Preferences window and enable 'Appearance->Avoid strobing/blinking/flashing elements'
2) In either the Editor window or Mixer window, hit 'Play' and notice that the timecode clock updates normally
3) Now exit Mixbus and re-launch it
4) From now on (with any session) the timecode clocks no longer update when in Play mode
Additional InformationIt got reported by a Mixbus user but it seems to affect Ardour too.
TagsNo tags attached.

This is entirely intentional. Also meters get stuck, peak-hold is no longer updated, and anything that can change rapidly.

Although in MIxbus this is half baked. Mixbus meters may still update as can other channelstrip elements.

Since Mixbus+11.1-445-gde21da3b4f this option is no longer available.

What's interesting is that the problem only happens after exiting Mixbus (or Ardour) and later, re-starting. Or does that particular setting not get implemented until after re-starting?

it is applied when the session is (re-)loaded: GUI timer callbacks are not connected (though some other callbacks directly check the prefs)
