Hi Mark:  ..that the change in usability was caused by that commit or 
related ones immediately before it.

In the early days of qt5 the 'current position' marker in edit mode 
disappeared.  A workaround was created but not committed, and upstream 
fixed it.  Now the marker is visible but flicks between start and end of 
the recording;  it's bi-stable.  The workaround might be helpful in 
identifying relevant bits of code - but it doesn't restore proper 
operation now.
