Timeline navigation stopped working
When I click on a rehearsal mark in the Timeline (or any other item in the Timeline), it doesn't transport me to the the relevant page of the score. It used to work that way, but now it stopped. This issue affects all my scores. Does anybody have any ideas how to get it to work again?

Still works for me.
What version of MuseScore and what OS (3.6.2 in Windows 10 here)?
Maybe reverting to factory settings help

Great, reverting to factory settings solved the issue.
I am using Windows 10 and Musescore 3.6.2 as well. Interestingly, I had the same issue last week on another computer, the with same OS and MuseScore version.
Anyway, thanks again for your help!

That would have restored the Pan Score setting to the default, on.
Any chance you've turned off the "pan score automatically" toolbar button? (looks like ►║)
I'd consider timeline navigation not working in that case a bug, so please enter it into the issue tracker

In which case it does bring you there, as starting playback proves, but doesn't show this on screen. And yes, I can confirm this behavoir. Might by Design though?

I'm in doubt about the "by design" part; Well, it's currently definitely by design that pan score disables adjusting viewport to the selected item. I'm less convinced about how intentional that design is.
I mean, it makes sense to not automatically scroll the score into view when the outside-of-view selection is caused by a non-explicit user action. In the case where the user presses something on the timeline (or uses the Find dialog!) I think bringing the result of that action into view is most likely the desired end result.

Oh, 2 issues even. Probably fixed in one go, same cause I guess.

My sense is this probably worked until relatively recently but probably stopped a couple of years ago as part of some rearchitecting of how the scoreview positioning works. As I recall, there were all sorts of inconsistencies that we tried to address by centralizing the positioning code in one place. And if this change was the cause of the current behavior, it was almost certainly unintentional.

This was probably it. I didn't know this button did that and I did not pay attention to it when I tried to solve the issue. But now I see that it does exactly that - when I switch it off, the Timeline navigation stops working. I'd probably switched it off by accident. So it would seem there is no bug to report. Thank you very much for your help!
