Hi Chris Amadeus is working correctly and as designed from your description. The playhead and insertion heads can not be tied together as far as I know. I personally Like the way that when audio is not playing, the arrow keys move the insertion point rather than the playhead. But I also think that it would b good to be able to tie the insertion point to the playhead.
