Strange timeline scrolling/shuttling problem
Not sure what triggered this. It seemed to start happening at random, but when I move my cursor to the menu bar, or about the left sixth of the source window, my timeline starts scrolling to the left. This is extremely annoying, especially as I prefer to work with two monitors with my Project window on the left monitor.
Can’t say I did anything I can think of that might have triggered this behavior. I tried restarting the program to no help, and saw nothing in the preferences menu or on any forums that might be able to help me. It really slows the workflow having to always scrub back to the section I was working on every time I access a menu or the project or effects windows.
Anyone have any ideas as to what’s going on? Much obliged if you do.
Here’s screen capture of the issue.

Try the following, if you have not already:
• Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
• Update any GPU drivers
• Trash preferences
• Delete media cache
• Disconnect any third party hardware
• RebootIf you have trouble finding a way to do any of those, let me know and I can send you some help links.

Gates, I’m having the exact same issue! Just started popping up in the last week, at random. It’s making me insane. Let me know if you figure this out.

What James said plus making sure you’re on the latest Premiere Pro 8.2.

Anecdotally I see evidence this is connected with Mac OS updates.
Previously there was something similar with “Magic Mouse”.
I am not a MAC guy… so take this with a grain of salt and your own experiences.
Its not happening on Win PCs as far as I know.

Thanks for the rec James. I haven’t been able to try those things just yet, as I’m in a time crunch, but will let you know what happens when I do.
Sean, I haven’t found a reason yet. It strangely does seem to go away on it’s own, so as headache-inducing as it is, if you power through, eventually it will go away. (Of course, it will then come back at some point.)
And Craig, I can’t say for sure, but it seems you may be on to something. Sean, what version OSX are you on? I’m working off-site on a Mavericks machine right now. At my machine at my office, which runs Yosemite, I’ve never had this issue. Then again, I’ve worked on other Mavericks machines and not ever had this problem. Going down this line of thinking, though, makes me wonder if it’s this 4k monitor I’m working on for some weird reason. I dunno.
As of now, I’m just hoping James’ suggestions end this once and for all.

I am having the same exact problem! It is driving me absolutely nuts. At first I thought it had something to do with my apple mouse being too sensitive to left/right scrolling, until I finally discovered Premiere was doing this any time my mouse moved over. It is seriously driving me crazy. I’m pretty sure it’s an OS issue as I never experienced this on OSX 10.8.5. I wish we could roll back on the new Mac Pros. I will try James’ advice and let you know if it works.

Hi – Kai from Germany.
sorry about my english.
I have the same problem since a couple of days – timeline is uncontrolled scrolling into the direction of the mouse – working with 3 monitors, it is not very funny.
since 3 hours i can work again without scrolling.
i cleared the trash of premiere. pressing the shift key while Premiere is starting clears the trash. the loadtime was much longer. i am working with an MAC PRO and the start procedure needs in this state nearly 3 Minutes.
After the start, the uncontrolled moving stopped – hopefully this state is the state for the near future

I just started having the exact same issue on my setup. I thought initially that it was some setting that I accidentally changed. It’s truly an really annoying bug. My setup is the latest 2014 Premiere CC running on 10.10.3.

Did anyone try James’ suggestions? I ended up not having to, as just as randomly as the issue showed up, it then disappeared about a week later. Maybe it was fixed in an update?

I don’t know, I have the most recent version and it happens to me every now and again. It happened to me just now which is why I’m here. I found that Tommy’s suggestion in this thread helped: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/965152#966099 … simply to close the sequence you have open and re-open it. Annoying, but it works. Hopefully Adobe will figure this bug out…
