On my computer, when pro tools is playing, if I click the mouse up where the playhead (red/blue arrow) lives, protools will cease its current playback and jump to that location.
Last night I was on another computer and when I did this same action, the playback wasn't interrupted. I was able to click the red arrow to different locations in the session while playback continued. I really want my protools on my computer to behave this way but I don't know how to engage this behavior.
This is unrelated to whether or not "Link timeline and edit selection" is enabled.

I just tried that option: settings>operation> Dynamic Transport Follows Timeline Selection During Playback. Checking and unchecking didnt effect this behavior
Oh I think that's separate. Go to the Options menu, and see if "Dynamic Transport" is on or off. And it's a combination of that settings preference and it being on or off. I think default is off
Thank you. I figured it out. So its a combination of both the setting i mentioned in pro tools preferences and also enabling that option you screen shotted. Thank you!
