I’ve had this problem before ever since version 4.5. Not all the time, and a restart will fix it, but the one thing different, is that I have to zoom in further to get the feedback, not zoom out. As long as I restart FCP, it’ll go away. I do notice that it’ll happen more with a project that has a lot, and I mean a lot of content (footage, graphics, audio, etc), every so often it’ll happen in smaller projects, too.
