Occasionally, when I launch SF 18 Pro, the play head disappears. If I quit SF and re-open it, it's still gone. Nothing short of a PC reboot seems to solve it and I don't want to do that every time I want to use SF (I keep my PC in sleep mode when not in use, but with SF closed).

I have tried toggling "Seek Cursor on Playback", but to no avail.

I have also seen that an SF reset will resolve it, but I don't want to have to set up all my options and preferences every time this happens.

Is there a fix for it beyond rebooting? This used to happen with SF13 or 14, but only if your PC was offline for a month or so. It was more to do with licence verification, I think. But on this PC where I have SF 18 Pro, I'm always online, so that doesn't seem to be the cause.

Any help gratefully received. Cheers.
