Option to disable auto zoom for Play Slice tool

Currently when you play a slice with the Play Slice tool, that does not fit the current zoom level, the zoom state is automatically altered so the entire slice fits the editor.

Like this:

I would like to request an option to disable that automatic zoom behavior so the current zoom state is maintained.

When slicing a sample, one often listens between the current slice to hear the end and the next/upcoming slice to hear the start. Or previewing the next slice to determine the end of the new slice. If the upcoming slice isn’t sliced in a smaller piece yet the user has to zoom back (toggle previous zoom) each time or set a dummy slice marker first. Therefor it would be much more convenient if the user is able to disable the automatic zoom behavior.

it’s 2023 and still nothing.
Did Steinberg ever listen to any of their customers?

With the next maintenance version there will be a 3 state option with an additional mode to turn “Auto Slice Zoom” off.
