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

none

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

• 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

Reopened

none

To be tested

• P2 1702 - Summary: LAME, FFmpeg and other dll loading woes in macOS
• P2 1567 - Mac Sierra: LAME, FFmpeg and some plugins disappear. (intermittent) works for me (and Cliff)
• P2 641 - Moonphase: Append record with overdub may cause spurious playthrough and may crash. I don't get this on Mac or W10
• P5 96 - "Latency problem" warning when audio is pushed behind zero occurs for both tracks of a stereo pair I can't figure this - but it looks ok on Mac and W10

Tested on Mac

• P2 1608 - LV2 Chain problems: LV2s crash when used in Chains, or are unavailable in Chains if the LADSPA version is also enabled - tested ok on Mac by Bill

Re-opened

• P2 1432 - Undocking Toolbars removes track focus, and drag or resize of undocked toolbars removes the control's focus border - 05Aug17 - OK on Windows -not working on Mac
• P4 1646 - Stretch operation in Note tracks needs many improvements

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

None

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