Description

Suggestion
Play-head ought to jump back to 'where-started' << when it reaches first bardivider of an empty bar.
Current behavior is to jump to 1. bar. (does that for all 3 choices)
(That is the correct behavior for 'After-stopping-go-back-to-begin' |<< iow. This setting needs no changes)
For 'keep-position' >> the play-head should not jump at all, just stop moving

Research direction

Start by reproducing the play-head behavior with an empty bar and each of the three Auto choices. Trace the existing handling when the play-head reaches the first bar divider; done means “where-started” returns to its starting position, “keep-position” stops without jumping, and “After-stopping-go-back-to-begin” remains unchanged.
