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.

See the Talk page for bugs resolved in earlier releases.

Windows 7 - will disappear in early 2020 when W7 becomes EOL

  • P5 964 - Windows 7: Support data generated if quitting using task manager when "About Audacity" is open. This is now marked CLOSED/WONTFIX


Re-opened

  • P2 2134 - Audacity silently fails to launch when audacity.cfg is locked read-only
  • P2 2135 - Audacity crashes if launched with a locked pluginregistry.cfg file
  • P3 1892 - Mac accessibility: VoiceOver does not read the categories in Preferences
  • P4 1302 - Metadata Editor should be disabled for (external program) in Export Multiple, as in straight export OK on W10 - but errors out on Mac
  • P4 1806 - Extreme negative settings in Change Tempo cause an "apparent" hang/freeze
  • P4 534 - Page Up/Page Down when slider focused also scrolls the project. looks OK on W10 but iffy on Mac
  • P5 1799 - Un-muting with a single track unnecessarily activates the Solo button - original bug ok on Mac, BUT closely related issue still occurs
  • P4 1371 - Device Toolbar does not restore large widths when docked. - OK on W10 - but still not right on Mac


Pending

None


Devel Fix-Made

None


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

  • P5 2100 - AIFF exports GT 4GB are trapped but error message is only "WAV" - We need the German translation before this can be tested


To be tested

None


What's to be done about this/these

  • P3 461 - MIDI or Allegro export filter does not enforce output format cross-platform - looks ok for me on w10, Step 1 OK on Mac but not Step 2
  • P2 2149 - Audacity consumes large amounts of CPU time - prob. OK - held over open till RC1



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

  • P3 2178 - Export to (external program) fails with errors looks fixed on Windows - On Mac still get error msgs
