Did you point them to this thread in the issue?
 
Yup looks like you have no choice please contact tech support, maybe they want to troubleshoot with you.
 
You can tell them people here are using different graphics cards. You can also tell them that whilst I don't experience this issue the timeline isn't exactly a smooth experience for me. Please make them read this thread (Hi Cake IT if you are reading this )
 
I'm starting to wonder if QA aren't seeing these threads, this issue which is reproducible got withdrawn as intended without much logical explanation (not seeing the real world issue).
 
Report back - maybe it is your system your never know?
 
Thanks...

I can somewhat reproduce this in very particular circumstances:
 
1. Average CPU load is high - like 50%+.
2. Track view timeline is zoomed to show somewhere between 2 and 8 beats, depending on tempo.
3. I move the mouse up and down across many tracks in the track pane so the clip focus and Smart tool cursor are constantly updating.

Moving my comments from a thread I started on the same subject.
 
Why is it that I feel like I am paying to be a beta tester for this product??!!??

Standard functions should work smooth. Isn't anyone actually using SONAR before putting out fixes to ensure there is no regression to basic functions like song position pointer smoothness?
 
When using a mouse during project playback, the song position pointer in the timeline freezes and will eventually catch up, but is performing horribly. As long as the mouse moves, the song position pointer does not advance as it should during playback.

hi all, funny that i stumbled upon the following:
 
the project i mentioned as above, with both lag and also ProChannel clicks and pops, has a huge load of tempo changes involved. If i were to delete all the tempo-change data from the Tempo View, keeping only one (1) singular tempo, the lag issue disappears.
 
Everything plays silky smooth as it should. The Playhead moves well, SMPTE clock counts up as it should and moving the mouse around does not affect the screen refresh issues. 

unfortunately the issues with the clicks and pops still exist. 

would any others kindly verify if this is true? many thanks...

cheers!!!

That's it I can reproduce! (Could not before). Brilliant.... Reported under  CWBRN-22663
 
STEPS
 
1) Open a large Project.
2) Insert 10 tempo changes in the first minute of the track
3) Play
 
EXPECTED
 
Timeline smoothly scrolls left to right
 
ACTUAL
 
Timeline does not scroll smoothly. It's noticeably worse when you hover the mouse over it.

Just looked at the X3D fix list. There were 5 nowtime bugs fixed, unfortunately it appears one or some of these fixes have led to another bug...
