Hi,

You didn't say what version of MEP you have but try this:

Terry, East Grinstead, UK

Terry, East Grinstead, UK. PC: i7 6700K, 4.0 GHz, 32GB with Win 10 pro. Used many earlier versions of MEPP, currently mainly MEPP 2016 & 2017 (Using scores of macro scripts to add functionality, tailored to these versions.)

You say "again" and I don't know your history but there is a setting that actually controls this, File/Settings/Program/Spacebar behaviour. However, I once had it go bonkers where the spacebar reset to start of movie regardless of the setting. Closing the program and restarting solved it for me.

Yeap, me too.

This happens to me also. The space start/stop will for no reason start at the beginning. Well.... actually if you look at your section markers along the tiimeline, it is screwed up. Normally reseting to by either bring the start section to the location you want will restore it.... or do what terry pointed out .... and if all fails do what reefHound mention.
