I am wondering if there is a way to maintain the position of the navigation controls? In the image below you will see that the ‘fast forward’ button, for example, moves, so if you are trying to step through the playlist you will end up stopping the playlist or changing the viewmode.
What version of Grafana are you running? I had a long conversation with the UX and Frontend teams about this. There may be a potential fix in the future, but I don’t believe you can set static positions for the playlist right now.
