"Selection Follows Playhead" should work for subtitles

I'm loving how Resolve autoconverts audio to subtitles, but I find myself needing to do a fair bit of editing to them once they're done.

I'd like the "Selection Follows Playhead" Timeline option to apply to Subtitle tracks - when selected with the Auto Track Selector, of course - to work and for the Inspector to update with whatever subtitle is underneath the playhead

While I'm here, the "Create subtitles from audio" dialogue could have more options, like the ability to choose the number of lines rather than being limited to a choice of either 1 or 2 lines, for a start.

Also, I build a lot of portrait videos and find that the text regularly extends off the sides of the screen. Yes, I can shrink the font down, but it would be better if Resolve didn't generate text that can't be read.

They either removed this basic function or it's a bug that was never fixed.
1 1/2 years ago, I posted about it too here: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=176657

I'm glad someone else is talking about it, because it's a bit ridiculous, honestly. We get very fancy transcription stuff, and at the same time, the most basic (and useful) option is removed.

It makes no sense because it was working well before. I used it many times to be able to cut subtitles without having to constantly click on them

Very much +1 here! I can't even keep the subtitle track active when playing...

Also a few little tricks in the subtitle edit boxes would also be wonderful. Especially sentence ends often go a bit wrong when doing automatic transcription, it would be mega cool to be able to select a part and perform "move to next (previous) subtitle. This to correct sentences lines that have for instance just one word of a new (next) line at the end. (sure, It can be done now with more copy-paste work...)
