Summary0009495: “Transport | Playhead | Jump to next mark” starts transport
DescriptionUnder Ardour 8.x, using either the `Transport` menu items or the keyboard shortcuts (`W` and `Q`) to move to a mark causes the transport to start.

It didn't used to do this under 7.x or previously.
Steps To Reproduce1. Set multiple markers in a project with existing audio on a track.
2. Move the playahead to a spot between markers.
3. Select `Transport | Playahead | Jump to next mark` (or press `W` or `Q` keys).
4. Listen to your audio playing, when all you wanted to do was move the playahead.

Screencap I meant to attach earlier.

Still no attachment.

Also, I cannot replicate this. I suspect you may have accidentally enabled auto-play. Does Ardour play when you locate anywhere at all?

Yup. I dragged the 1.6 Mb screencap to the window, let it sit for about 5 minutes with the green "barber pole" spinning, and finally hit the "Add Note" button (I've just tried again, with the same result, and expect not to see the attachment).

In fact, Ardour does play when I click in the timeline. Is the "auto-play" preference set in the "Preferences" dialog?

I wouldn't knowingly have set it -- does it maybe have a new-ish keyboard shortcut which I might've triggered by default?

Yup, no attachment upload.

Looking at the "Transport" menu, I see that it *is* checked, and shows a keyboard shortcut of `Ctrl-7`. I can however see no other visual indication of that setting: am I missing anything?

At any rate, my own issue is closed: I will likely always be able to remember to look for the option on the `Transport` menu.

It might still be an issue for others, particularly that there is no "visible by default" indicator of that status on the editor view (without opening the menu).

We used to have an "auto play" button in the main toolbar, but it was too prominent for a rarely used feature.
