Summary0009959: Playhead locked/snaps to ±336-sample increments all of a sudden...
DescriptionAll of a sudden I was getting some (more) GUI/visual glitches, and my playhead now refuses to slide smoothly and instead is stuck at moving in ±336-sample increments for some unknown reason.
Steps To ReproduceI was using the following settings and doing the following things before it happened, which may or may not reproduce it or help to explain what happened:

• Nudging.
• Turning Snap on/off.
• Setting "No Grid" next to it.
• Turning on/off "Move relevant automation when audio regions are moved".
• Selecting regions across multiple tracks (±5) and first:
  - Sliding them around.
  - Then nudging the group forwards once (by 3804 samples) with the > nudge button.
  - Then undoing the nudge (cmd-z).
  - Then redoing the nudge (Edit -> Redo...).

-At that point the problem began.
Additional InformationThis might be something super simple I'm not seeing? If so, then sorry.

I thought it might be some weird glitch with a specific plugin or track, so I erased everything except one track and one source, and STILL the problem remains.

I've uploaded my now-blank project for inspection (±5mb) to my MediaFire account, as uploading it here exceeded the 2mb limitation:

I just fixed it!

Somehow under Session -> Properties -> Misc -> Miscellaneous Options... -it was toggled from "Audio (wallclock) time" to -> "Musical (beats) time", which is NOT something I did directly, so something else I did must have made Ardour toggle it on automatically/without my knowledge.

Hmm...
It's at least fixed though, so I'm happy. : )
