Bug testing workbench

Peter 18Jul16: This is a page to act as a workbench for my testing on W10 and macOS.

Some DEVEL FIXMADE bugs get "parked" by me as they involve downloading plug-ins from sites I know nothing about - I am not prepared to risk that.

Devel Fix-Made

• P2 641 - Moonphase: Append record with overdub may cause spurious playthrough and may crash.
• P3 1715 - Theme change in the case of multiple open windows is only complete in the foreground window.

Parked - because I don't have the wherewithall to test these

• P2 1502 - VST and AU: effects preview incorrectly if track rate not 44100 Hz or project rate differs from track rate - testable only on Mac for now - needs plug-ins downloaded
• P2 1404 - VSTs with bypass button cease to function if the plugin is closed with bypass button unchecked. Needs plug-in(s) downloaded, I'm not doing this - I suggested that the original bug poster could effect the test. BUT Paul says "should be demonstrable with the built-in Bass and Treble effect"
• P2 1227 - OSX: Audacity "System" language choice always produces English irrespective of Mac system locale. - FAILS testing on Mac
• P2 1073 - Mac: Audacity language set to "System" sets Traditional Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese incorrectly. - linked to bug #1227
• P2 1608 - LV2 Chain problems: LV2s crash when used in Chains, or are unavailable in Chains if the LADSPA version is also enabled

The Bugs I have tested so far and that look to be good to go so far on W10-CE still to be tested on macOS and Linux

None
