Play needle position not updating when Scopes are open in 10.2 was created by rjvddoes

Hi all,

I noticed that the position of the play cursor doesn't update during playback when I have the Scopes window open. When I close the Scopes window, the needle follows playback again.
I am running OSX 10.10.3 and FCPX 10.2.
The same happens on my 17" MBP and my 2009 MacPro.
Trashing preferences didn't help.
Does anyone else see this behavior?
I already have submitted feedback to Apple.

Not seeing that. The playhead moves when I have two scopes open. The problem might be media specific.

Hi Tom,

When I have 1 scope open it lags, with 2 an 3 open it lags even more and with 4 open it only updates after stopping playback. (on my 17"MBP at least, I can check tomorrow on my 2009 MP, which has more RAM installed)
Seems a priority issue to maintain playback performance.
Thanks for checking

Bear in mind those are some old laptops, with not so powerful GPUs, so eventually the GUI is going to push them hard. I'm not seeing any issues on a new Mac Pro and MacBook Pro.
