When I do that, the dialogue lists the start of the piece but doesn't
show the location of my markers, even when I have selected a section.
 The track display also jumps to the start of the piece.

This makes it very difficult to insert a time change just where I want
it.  Of course, I can type a different value into the "Time" box under
"Location", and the display will then show me the correct section of
the piece, but there is nothing to show precisely where that time point
is within the section of music displayed.

I think I must be missing something here...
