How to stop Project Window playback cursor from following Sample Editor?

I have been using Nuendo since the first version, but for some reason I suddenly can’t figure out how to get the project window cursor to NOT follow my relative position in the sample editor while working on a clip. Select a point in the Sample Editor from before your clip start in the project, and the project cursor jumps to some other part of your timeline where that clip doesn’t even exist. It’s frustrating. I have Video Follows OFF. I have Editor Content Follows Event Selection OFF… I’m at a loss. I am only using a short clip in the project from a large audio file, so I don’t want the Project cursor to take off running to some other part of my timeline while I am editing a clip and choosing regions. Help please. Thank you!

PLEASE SEE THIS VIDEO:

That doesn’t do it. Still repositions the cursor off of the clip in the Project Window when I am editing the clip in Sample Editor. Any other ideas?

Thank you

For independent playback in the Sample Editor use the Audition-Button. The key command would be “Startstop preview”:

That also doesn’t help. The Project cursor still jumps all over the project while you are moving around the sample editor, setting a new region, etc. The Audition Button just starts and stops playback of your selected region. Thanks though. Anything else?

You might need to show exactly what your issue is as from your description it isn’t entirely clear what you’re experiencing on your system.

You have to use the range-selection tool to navigate and set the start point of audition-playback, not the cursor:
See the video, I can navigate and the cursor in the arrangement is not moving:

Same with creating and playing regions, cursor doesn’t move in arrangement when using audition:

Here guys: I am talking about ANY positioning of the cursor in the sample window. PLEASE SEE THIS VIDEO.

It shows me positioning the cursor in the sample window. Watch the cursor position follow in the project timeline, which has no relevance to what I’m doing in the sample editor, which is creating regions, for example, or looking for another moment in a sound effect cue. I don’t want to reposition the cursor in the timeline. Just in the sample editor. Thank you again.

I understand that, but that´s just not the way how it works. There is only on cursor and it is synced for the arrange window and the sample editor. You can´t have two independent cursors. You can´t position the sample editor cursor independently from the timeline cursor in the arrangement window, because it´s the same timeline in both.
I showed an alternative that works in three videos—> navigate play position with the range-tool and play with the audition-button (key command) to be flexible in the sample editor and independent from the cursor.

Well there could be. Why would I want this behavior? In the pool, for example, you play audio separately and playback in the project stops. When I am working in the sample window, I am typically sub clipping takes- why would you want the project window to move to some other part of the timeline?
