Greetings to you too… 
A suggestion…
Try using the lower 3 keys on the numeric pad.
-
The “0” key will stop the playback. Hit it again and it moves the cursor back to the starting point of the playback. Hit it a third time and the cursor moves back to the project beginning.
-
The “.” key will move the cursor back to the project start position. If pressed during play it moves the cursor back to the project start point and play will continue from the beginning.
-
The “Return” key starts playback.
After you get used to these keys it works pretty good (it does for me anyway).
Good luck.
Regards
