How do I stop the playhead from jumping back to init position?

Hey yall, simple question. How do I stop the playhead from jumping back to init position when stopping a preview? I searched the settings (might've overlook it) but I need to know how to turn this playback feature off. Its so irritating when im trying to stop at a specific time and it just jumps back to the beginning of the timeline. I want to avoid having to manually zoom out to find the general area, zoom in and scroll to the point im looking for. It just feels really counterintuitive to my process. Any help would be cool.

If you use the Enter key instead of spacebar you can "pause" and "continue" instead of starting and stopping (where stopping jumps back as you said).

@bvideo There's now a button at the bottom of the preview screen that changes clicking the spacebar to pause rather than stop, this option was in Preferences on previous versions to VP21

-----------

This is that option In Preferences in VP20

@bvideo Big thanks! Definitely a huge help.

@Gid Im working in VP21. I dont have either of those options. I wish they did though. Im so used to using the space key for play/stop in almost every program I use.

@Atropha You should have the one under the preview window. Take a screenshot of it so we can see.

@Atropha As @Jack S says you should have that button, that pic I posted is from VP21.

You may need to look in the three little dots option - Edit Visible Button ...

@Jack S OH! I missed that. @Gid You even mentioned it in the first time around SMH. I just skipped down to the transport panel at the bottom of the timeline. Its perfect now! Thanks!

@Atropha Good, glad that is now working for you 👍

btw I got an email saying you'd marked my comment as the Solution, either this forum is taking time to update or ... you can only mark one comment as the solution 😉
