Please allow me as a user to express that these past months were a hard time waiting when I was constantly and seriously considering to ask for my money back for FCPX and switch back to Premiere because this bug persisted across two or so updates and my work heavily relies on functioning 3rd party plugins (that I also purchased). That such mistakes happen is not a problem, but what I expect at least from applications that carry "Pro" in their name is that such bugs get addressed in a timely manner.
Yanone,
I can understand your frustration. Please understand that we were working on this bug from the moment it was reported, and it really did take us that long to figure out the cause and find the right fix for it. I can't say much more than that, but know that we had several people working full time on fixing it for quite some time and it was our highest priority.
To protect yourself in the future, you may want to make a back-up copy of an older version of the app and zip it up before trying out a new version so that you can go back to a previous version if there's a show-stopper bug. I have another problem that is slightly annoying: I remember vaguely from earlier versions of FCPX that the skimming option affected not only the events but also clips on the timeline. Now (at least 10.0.7 and 10.0.8) skimming is always on for the timeline regardless of the option setting. As a side note this means bad UI design because the option button is located just above the timeline but only affects a different section of the UI, the events. But as a bigger problem this means that persistent skimming on the timeline slows down the work on my aged computer because mouse hovering over the timeline is constantly triggering clip loads on the preview screen. But more importantly this is visually annoying and breaking my concentration. Even if you think that you can manage clip load speeds for the skimming on the technical side, as a user I wish I could keep decision over whether or not to use skimming. I like to position my "cursor" and only see the visuals for the section I chose. Not even sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it feels like a bug so I thought I report it.
It sounds like you have "Clip Skimming" on. Cmd-Option-S turns on clip skimming (and turns it back off if you hit it again), which causes the timeline to skim, but not events. It's right below "Skimming" in the "View" menu. Let me know if that fixes it for you.
