P2 Bug Discussions

Discussion of blocking bugs, use "priority:" and "demote:" to lobby 

11 Rep  P2  Wind  Input sources cannot be selected in Mixer Toolbar priority: Ed 1/6 demote: Ed -1 Peter -1 Gale says: Gale says: 
 * I've always regarded "Input sources cannot be selected in Mixer Toolbar" as borderline P2/P3. We agreed to fix it when we last did a re-prioritisation. It did not look difficult to do at that time, but I haven't followed very closely since. Is it harder to do now than before, if so why? Or is it just pointless because of a general flakiness in behaviour detecting input devices on Windows XP, Vista and 7 (the XP problems having been apparently introduced by trying to fix the Audacity slider/system slider relationship in Vista and 7)?
 * Is turning Device Toolbar on so awful? I always said that would demote this bug to P3. But I think we did a lot of work to improve the Mixer Toolbar on Linux, and increasing take up of Windows 7 means we have to fix this sooner or later. I do think there should perhaps be some prioritisation of P3s. This P2 would be a priority if we demote it to P3

12 Rep  P2  Wind  Audacity input/output level sliders act independently of/incorrectly with system level sliders  priority: Ed 2/6 demote: Ed -1 Peter -1 <BR>

29 Rep  P2  All  Input and/or output sliders for the inbuilt sound device have no effect when an external device is connected <BR> priority:<BR> Ed 3/6 <BR> demote:<BR> Ed -1<BR> Peter -1<BR> Ed says: <BR>
 * I believe that three bugs listed (11, 12 and 29) are very interrelated.

9 Moo  P2  All  Projects crash when applying repeated effects on zoomed in regions towards the end of audio tracks <BR> priority:<BR> Ed 4/6 <BR> demote:<BR> Ed -1<BR> Gale says: <BR>
 * Al asked " The crashes on repeated zoomed-in edits. Have there been any reports of this in 1.3.11? I think it's fixed". Yes there are still reports, but they may relate to a general flakiness "clicking around too much and too fast" which isn't understood. There are considerably fewer reports, but like all the moonphase P2s/P3s we have, if an individual person gets them, they can be persistent.<BR>

26 Rep  P2  All  If user deletes aliased files while project is open, playing any track in the project causes a freeze<BR> priority:<BR> Ed 5/6 <BR> demote:<BR> Ed 0<BR> Ed says:
 * A patch was committed today which purports to deal with this. Would someone like to create very explicit instructions for testing this patch?<BR>
 * Gale: Is waiting for someone (ideally Bill) to confirm on Mac...

10 Rep  P2  Wind  Runtime Error Program: (location) R6034 on launching Audacity priority:<BR> Ed 6/6 <BR> demote:<BR> Ed +1<BR> Ed says:
 * I thought this bug was a conflict with the Visual C++ Redistributable version and had been taken care of. Are we still seeing bug reports?<BR>
 * Gale: yes very occasional...
