With a simple session, this was working fine for me. CTRL-F toggled the follow. I tried several different times. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Ardour 8.7 downloaded from here. I could not find an indicator to show whether this was enabled or not. Maybe a little 'F' or a '->', or an arrow in the playhead indicator triangle would work for a good indicator ? |

Please take a look at this. This is fresh 8.7 version. The session is very simple, some guitars and bass recorded plus MIDI drums. https://youtu.be/I29dmJhQWJc |

@skygge I am able to confirm that using the menu bar->transport->follow playhead method is faulty. For some reason, my hotkey was CTRL-3 for that method when a session is freshly opened. I opened an existing session, toggled the Follow using the Transport menu as you did in the video. The playhead would not follow! I hit CTRL-F. Then I was able to toggle using the Transport Menu successfully after hitting CTRL-F. The Transport hotkey then changed to CTRL-F. All toggles then worked after that. I am unable to test on BEoS V5 or OS/2 at the moment :) |

Nevermind about the CTRL-3 hotkey issue......That was Follow Range, not Follow Playhead..... Long day....... |
