Thank me?  Thank YOU!!!  Wow, that was amazingly responsive... I'm glad
my timing lined up with yours so perfectly.

So will any of this show up in the PPA in incremental updates, or just
in the next full release?

Strange timeline zoom behavior

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Fix Committed

Bug description:
There's a lot to like in OpenShot, but a big issue I experience is with zooming.  I have a video project that's about 17 minutes long.  Let's say the playback head is at, say, 10:00 while the zoom slider is set to "7 seconds" resolution.  Then I want to zoom in tighter.  Using the zoom bar, it does indeed zoom in tighter... but to a spot 5 minutes earlier in the timeline.  It never centers its zooming in/out on the playback head, or on any other reference point I can figure out.  I then have to manually scroll back through the timeline to get back to where I was working.

To me, it would be ideal if the timeline would zoom in and out centered on the playback cursor, because that's where I'm working.
