It may be nice to have it moving as an option in the Tool Window Functions Menu or added into Follow Playback Option because in the Tool Window, Marker highlight is moving according to changes within the Audio Editor.
When naming markers through the Tool Window, user may get confused with the marker selection in the Audio Editor moving on top, and the cursor (as shown in first video)
(because cursor is red and invisible alternating that can be mistaken for snap to marker)
One more question, users generally insert markers and move them with mouse. Have you ever thought of a feature that can move markers using keyboard?
Another illusion similar to the topic of this post, the file tab being on top users at times may get confused when the * sign comes on tab - for insert marker users might think the marker is moving to the right when * comes on tab.
This is not really noticed in general, but when working with transients, and the marker is inserted between or close to end of tab area on the waveform, users can get confused.
Also, when there are 4 tabs, and when user insert marker on file 1, the * moves all the other 3 tabs to the right.
This is standard working procedure, but the tabs used to be below and as there was only a color change in the name (of active file tab) and the other tabs remaining in the same color unlike in 12, the change was less or not noticed.
Not sure if an option exists to bring the tabs to bottom left in V 12.
