  • X2 - Zooming not always centered on NOW time

In one of the X2 videos, horizontal zooming was centered around the NOW time, so that as the timeline expanded, the NOW time was kept in (roughly) the same place.

The centering of the zoom seems to be dependent on the method used to zoom:

Method 1 - Ctrl + Left/Right Arrow
Zooming is centered on the NOW time (as in the videos).

Method 2 - Left click/drag top of timeline up/down
Zooming is centered on the point at which you clicked the top of the timeline.

Method 3 - Alt + Mouse Wheel Up/Down
Zooming is centered on the position of the cursor (indicated by the vertical "aim assist" line).

It's not that Methods 2 and 3 are "wrong", but it can be a bit confusing to see horizontal zoom not centered around the NOW time. It would be nice if we could force all horizontal zooming to center around the NOW time (if that's what we want), even if we use a method other than Ctrl-Left/Right Arrow. Is that possible?
