This looks like it is for when the scrollbar is missing from the workspace entirely.

I just tried this to the letter, and the problem persists. Thanks for the great suggestion!

<p>The image below shows 4 states:<br>

<p>The scrollers of states 2 &amp; 3 have a 50% overlap, which means the clip should also be ~50% visible.

<p>Any more suggestions out there?</p>

What happens if you drag the end of the scroll bar out to zoom out all the way?  What does it look like then?  Have you had any other clips in the sequence or had that clip further down the sequence earlier?

Thanks for asking :) I've added a screenshot of the fully zoomed out state. There were not clips in the sequence earlier.

Why is my Premiere timeline scrollbar thumb non-proportional?

Yet in Premiere Pro CS6, it seems to follow a totally different logic. For example, in this simple one-clip timeline, I'm scrolled all the way to the left, and the clip pretty much fills the timeline.

Well this is not my Direct Answer but tried this?:

trash the preferences and then create a new project. Then go to window>workspace and uncheck the import workspace from the project and reset it again. Then try opening your project and check.
