Timeline zero positioned hard left

[Cedric Dawnhawk]

Starting I think in version 7.5, the zero of the timeline scale is positioned fully to the left of the timeline window so it is very difficult see or work in that region. In version 7.0 and before the zero point was offset slightly to the right of the left-hand edge of the window which looked much better and was a lot easier to work with. Do other people experience this or is it just me?

In version 8 you can make the full width of a 1920x1200 monitor equal to 0.00.04Sec using Ctrl and Scroll Wheel.

You can insert at the beggining a blank slide with 00.003 seconds(or more), and expand the timeline to view it

Thanks for the replies

davegee & MUR: I know you can zoom in but the zero point remains hard at the left. Moreover, having zoomed, in other slides are now off the screen to the right

I'm surprised no-one else has commented on this. If you use dual monitors with PTE open on the right-hand one, trying to work at the left-hand edge often ends up with the cursor outside the PTE window.

Even if there weren't useability issues, it still looks a mess.
