Default Autozoom to content when changing midi item

Hi, I've made a tiny script that should open a midi item (also when changing it inside the midi editor) and zoom to its content.


so with the help of jrk I'm at this point now

Code:
if reaper.GetExtState("Main", "runstate") == "running" then 
  reaper.SetExtState("Main", "runstate", "stopped", false) 
end

last_take = -1;

reaper.Main_OnCommand(40153, 0) -- Item: Open in built-in MIDI editor


function Main()

  this_take = reaper.MIDIEditor_GetTake( reaper.MIDIEditor_GetActive() )

  if this_take ~= last_take then 
     
      reaper.MIDIEditor_OnCommand(reaper.MIDIEditor_GetActive(), 40214) -- unselect all
  
      reaper.MIDIEditor_OnCommand(reaper.MIDIEditor_GetActive(), 40466) -- View: Zoom to content
   
     this_take = last_take
 
  end
   
   reaper.defer(Main)
end


Main()

reaper.SetExtState("Main", "runstate", "running", false)
It does what it's meant to do, BUT here's what's happening now (uploading a video....)

here's the video

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S8Y...ew?usp=sharing


now when I try to zoom in\out it doesn't let go of the focus because of the defer script... And If I grab the border of an item and make it smaller, it automatically zooms in to content and make the item smaller and smaller in a loop till it becomes a minimum size, etc...

So I think using defer is not for this case? Is there an observer in reaper api to watch for the midi item change? Thank you

sorry, my bad, the problem was with this line

Code:
last_take = this_take
It's the correct version, now everything seems to work

Now the only thing left is to disable undo points creation for it....:thinking:
