Project cursor jumps around when splitting track

Cubase

How to disable this annoying “feature”? I guess?
The project I’m working on is rather detailed, I need to zoom in and edit a lot, it was fine when the view is zoomed out, but when zoomed in, it just jumps to god knows where, this right here just increased a boat load of unnecessary workload for me.
anybody knows how to deal with this?

I have tried, but I’m completely unable to reproduce this cursor behavior, even after having activated/deactivated some preferences that could be related. On my end, I have the Cross-Hair cursor that appears, when the Split tool is activated, and I can proceed to split any given MIDI part without any project cursor move. But, maybe I’m missing a hidden setting that could explain it…

A precision that would be helpful, though : which Cubase version are you using (it seems to be Cubase 12, but well…) ?

Beside this, who knows : before looking for an eventual setting that could be involved, have you tried to relaunch Cubase in safe mode, using the Disable program preferences option ?

EDIT - I added a necessary precision, I think, in your thread title. Hope you don’t mind.

OK, but which one : Pro, Artist, Elements… ?

Beside this, at the end of your video, it seems like we have two cursors, here (two double vertical lines) :

So, could you post a screenshot of your Preferences > Editing > Tools panel ?

And I renew my suggestion about the safe mode…

You can change this in Preferences under Editing > Tools.

Yep, I know it as I have set it like this since a while, but the issue is on @Hyena-Studio end, not mine…

What I was saying is that the project cursor never moves when I am splitting a MIDI part with the Split tool, as he seems to use it, from his video.

To answer your question, no, there weren’t 2 cursors, the one at the end is the cursor, the first one is just my mouse moving around.
Also, if you could try to split a longer track? instead of a short clip, short clips don’t have this problem.

Thanks.

OK. I thought that maybe the Cross-Hair cursor could be involved, but obviously, it’s not the case.

OK, but how do you get the double vertical line doing so ? :thinking:

But that’s what I already did, on a 2’36" MIDI part long (78 bars at 120 BMP) : no matter where and the zoom used when I split it, the project cursor doesn’t flinch. So, I renew again my safe mode suggestion…

The cursor that follows the mouse just appears when I press 3 for the split tool.
And, yeah, going into safe mode does solved the problem, no idea how but thanks man!
