Screenshot with square brackets and an arrow indicating the region where a
potential mis-click can trigger unintended behavior.
SUMMARY
While navigating frame by frame in the Project Control area using the mouse, it
feels far too easy to accidentally double-click on the tiny space immediately
above the Time Control buttons and unintentionally trigger "Play" in Project
Control, with full-screen mode active, the main consequence of which being to
lose one's place in the Timeline. (This is beginning to sound like a Doctor Who
episode.) As far as I know, there is no mitigation for it one's only choices
are to either be more careful in where one clicks (and ideally adapt one's
muscle memory) or to just advance frames using the keyboard instead.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a project and drop a clip into the Timeline
2. Using the mouse, advance forward and backwards a single frame at a time
using the Time Control up- and down-arrow buttons.
3. Increase the rate of clicks while clicking on the up-arrow button to advance
forward more quickly and allow the mouse cursor to drift upwards and into the
space just above the button (while still clicking).
OBSERVED RESULT
These steps should result in triggering "Play" on the project monitor and
opening full-screen mode.
EXPECTED RESULT
My suggestion would be to designate the 10-15 pixels or so just above the Time
Control up-arrow button as “neutral territory” where clicks on that space have
no effect at all. This, I think, would serve to minimize the possibility of
mis-clicking there and triggering full screen and play by mistake.
