Problem Description + Screenshots

Some events span wider than the screen, Epochs or Ages, for example.

In last version using

Control Key + [
or
Control Key + ]

Would advance you to the beginning of any next event.

That IS the case for events that do not span longer than the screen itself, like the Trojan War.

But, for events like the Holocene Epoch, or ANY longer-than-the-screen event, using the keyboard controls just selects the long event. Instead of this:

We get:

And, no change in our position on the timeline. Does not bring you to the start of that event.

Answer the following questions, if possible:

  • Are you able to reproduce this bug reliably?
    Yes.

  • Can you make this bug happen with a clean timeline file?
    Yes.

  • Does it only happen with a specific timeline file?
    No. All.

Any relevant files?

Not required.

If there is a file that is particularly relevant to your bug, it is usually much faster for us to diagnose and fix bugs (and potentially repair files) if you can send them to us.
None.

Thanks for reporting this, I have passed it onto our developers to look at.

I know this post is old but same happening to me. I cannot use The shortcut for collapsing and extending child elements doesn’t work when the timelines are taking more space than the height of the screen. I can zoom out but this is not enough for big projects.
