Just to be clear on the how the left click locks scroll works. The playback needs to be rolling when the left click takes place and that left click needs to select data.

Would have been nice for the documentation to mention this.  I did not click/select while playback was happening.  This is kind of lame IMO.  It implies you need to do this everytime you hit play, which is a PITA.  If I'm wanting to lock a region in place on the screen, chances are I'm doing some major or repetitive work there.
 
Nevertheless, thanks for the tip.  I'll try it the next time I fire up my DAW.

Edit: In rereading this thread I see references to the scroll lock key.  Does this play a part in suppressing scrolling during playback?  Again, there's no mention in the documentation of using the scroll lock key.

Yes press scroll lock will stop scrolling. It usually catches people out when they press it by mistake.

That may suit your more.

Thanks, Karl.  Geez, that's all I wanted in the first place.  Go documentation! 

In the old days it was the question that was most asked. "How do I get the now time to move with the song"? It was on a card that came with Pro Audio and the first few Sonar versions. This was along with the printed manual and was a part of the purchase. 

But even then people didn't read that card which was all about key bindings.
