Summary0006636: Clicking a spot on the timeline does not update the playhead location when External Sync is enabled
DescriptionI've been using build 4.2.634 and just recently 4.2.647 and this issue has appeared in both but is not present in 4.2.0.

When using External/JACK Positional Sync, clicking a spot on the timeline produces slightly glitchy graphical behavior. The playhead appears to flicker to the location clicked but then snaps back to its previous location.

When pressing play, however, the playhead will jump to and move from the clicked location. It appears as though this is merely a graphical error.

Additionally, when clicking the same spot on the timeline after the playhead appears to snap back to its previous location, it will move to the spot clicked on the timeline but the entire timeline will not move when playing.

Using Qjackctl's transport controls, Hydrogen's timeline or any other external program (including Ardroid) still moves the playhead and timeline smoothly and when using Internal sync instead of JACK, the issue does not persist.
Additional InformationThe issue seems to be more severe when running the Nouveau driver rather than NVIDIA's proprietary display driver. It still occurs on both, but on the NVIDIA display driver the playhead will often actually jump to the location that was clicked.

I've included a screencap that shows the playhead appears to be near the 23rd measure while Ardour's clock shows that it's actually (invisibly) at the 16th.
