2.6.0 b5 - Loop Container operation

Hi.

I'm noticing that the Loop Container right-click operation does not seem to work as I am expecting (remembering?).

IOW, it doesn't cause the container to loop.

The orange vertical line does move to the front of the selected container, but the time span of the container only gets ghost-highlighting (rather than full blue-line highlighting), and playback proceeds onward past the end of the container without looping.

(Win 11)

Getting this to operate smoothly in realtime, as the mute and solo now do, would be very nice.

Thanks, fixed already. If there are more issues we can add them to a patch scheduled for tonight.

A loop needs to be set before playback starts though. Loops can't currently be set or changed when playback is already running. This is due to the way how Synfire compiles output from parameters and sends it to the separate audio process. When Synfire will eventually become a single monolithic process, we can do more DAW-like things like dynamic loops, recording inside a loop, etc.
