I'm having the same issue happen even when unpausing. The only way I can get the TAS to stop on the green arrow is by letting it play past it to erase it, pausing, and then clicking to make a new one.
Pause hotkey ignores seek frame, middle mouse button respects it, basically being the "restore last frame" hotkey, if there's a green arrow below playback frame.

There's no way yet, but I would like you to try learning the middle-button way, it's been this way since taseditor, that's why the user taseditor requested the pause hotkey to ignore the seek frame.
If you can't in the end adapt, I'll make it optional. The point is, MMB was a really good idea for taseditor, I never found myself willing to move back to pause hotkey once the feature was added.

From the interim build in Post #438690
Adding input by mouse then attempting to advance/rewind a frame will just cause the movie to play normally:
https://i.gyazo.com/3f1882e7e6cc63cf2c9c5ba3d9659c88.gif
This doesn't happen with Recording mode (which, as far as I've tested, seems to work just fine).
I did a quick fix so it won't unpause, but the logic there is that advance/rewind playback box buttons and mouse wheel (with RMB held) will only move the seek frame. That was needed when I was having issues with fast rewinding on cores that don't save every frame: mouse wheel rewinding was really slow and broken, so I made it decrease seek frame as well, to catch up with current frame changes.
Now, this probably doesn't end up working as reliably with all the new features, but I don't want to make any serious logic changes right before release, so if you want it to work perfectly, you'll have to wait. I'll eventually overhaul this.

I do too, but it seems after a while, usually 40,000+ frames later, when I click back it plays the entire movie again in turbo until that point. Any way to avoid that?
How many markers do you have, and what is the greenzone length in frames?

Awesome.
Another bug I have found is that sometimes it does "save as" automatically even if I am doing nothing.
Steps I did, with the last downloadable build:
Open a GBC rom
Open TAStudio
Unpause
While it plays, do other stuffs on the net like browsing TASvideos or even mess up with the emulator options. It seems to be related to time.
Maybe there is an auto save feature somewhere. It is a nice idea, but if I did not save a file before, it might become annoying.
EDIT: Now I just can't do a rightclick after selecting a couple of frames (not just 3 frames, something 50 frames) like with the last build. It throws me that:

Recording frames is changing the movie, so it has stuff to save.

Try with a larger selection? I just edited my post.
EDIT: Now I tried without the movie even playing and I still get it. I can get two save as window sometimes. But yeah I see now the auto save option. It is 120 seconds by default, but I am sure it doesn't take 120 seconds before I get those save as window. By disabling it to 0, I don't seem to get save as windows. So yeah it does work as intended. Maybe the timer is not exactly rigorous.

Weird, I just tried and it doesn't do it now. I am confused. So it looks like it's not be the right click. It looked reproducible with what I did. Apologies.
From the last build(one adelikat linked to me),
it seems that doing CTRL+Z throws me to the up of the piano... Sometimes.
->Open TAStudio
=>play some frames enough to not see 0th frames(No input necessary)
-> CTRL+
EDIT: New problem:
steps:
=>Open TAStudio
-> Do a random movie
->At some point, click R so it's set to Hold
=>Click L on the piano anywhere after the movie (Like issue #534)
->CTRL+Z
Witness the loss of your movie... Well I exagerrated it. You can do the redo command and recollect your movie.
EDIT: Updated the steps to reflect the loss.
EDIT:
3 new problems:
1rd Trying to play a GBC movie with a wrong game will crash the emulator.
2nd I don't know how, but I made a movie that when I click somewhere, it always go back to the 0th frame instead of the clicked frame.
3rd: So here is the situation: I am TASing a game and have to manage lag. So I avoid lag by jumping in X frame. When I replay it from 0th frame, a lag magically appear. By deleting and reinserting a frame before, the lag is gone. So to make sure I did not mess up my movie, I will have to watch it from beginning every single jumps I do... Not practical.
I have a tasproj that contain the last 2 issues, but don't know where to put it so you can test it.

Lag is probably a bug in the core savestates, make an issue, attach the project, post precise steps.
Hash mismatch is easy, user message is enough, probably after release.
If the movie goes too much back, check if there are even states on closer frames.
Will look into history bugs right now.

It seems it only invalidates all the greenzone, must be easy to fix. The second bug scares me though.

Easier repro steps for what I think is the same bug:
* Clone, insert, delete, etc any frame of a project
* CTRL+Z
This is the only problem I've run into so far and it's at least one that can be easily recovered from.

As we discussed on IRC, history is completely broken, and no one understands it except the author, who isn't active anymore. We should do the same as with smart seeking logic: simply port AnS's ideas from taseditor. This will stabilize things, but it's a lot of work, and I have other projects, that deserve to get attention after this huge release and continuous efforts.

Fixed, update your build.

Cause a fatal error:
This is some test with few greenzone states, so set it up so it only has 5 or less of them, I tested on SNES. State gap was 0, but probably doesn't matter.
Add branch 0
Playback for a few 20+ frames, so the greenzone near branch 0 dissapear

You definitely should post an issue with your project linked and describe what steps create different lag picture.

While dragging A upwards, auto-saving triggered, and when auto-saving was done, A was drawn for every frame in the movie.
Workaround: Ctrl + Z still works to undo the last action.

Drawing past the scrollbar while holding frame advance also cause it. TAStudio stops responding for a moment then all rows from drawing start point to frame 0/last frame have input, analogally with frame column and courser column.

I think I fixed everything related to history, despite of my fears: complicated wrong behavior was a result of a tiny bug. So emulating new frames and actions that extend the movie length should now undo and redo well.
TASeditor: your bug occurs on the latest build too?

Was it the first save for that file, with popup dialog, or just a silent save?
EDIT:
I don't think it's related to autosave at all. I get that if I draw above the view over the greenzoned area.

Fixed your bugs by changing how "editing during scrolling" is done. Please test the latest build!
