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 - Linux/Mac: Device Toolbar does not restore large widths when docked. - OK on W10 - but still not right on Mac
  • P4 1548 - Linux: Newly recorded tracks do not acquire focus
  • P3 2178 - Export to (external program) fails with errors - On Mac still get error msgs


Pending

  • P3 2334 - Vocal Reduction and Isolation: Incorrect documentation
    • Fixed - but no RC build for it yet.


Devel Fix-Made

None


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

None


To be tested

None


What's to be done about this/these

None


The Bugs 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

  • P1 2236 - Vocal Reduction & Isolation: "Remove Center Classic: Mono" and "Analyze" don't work


The Bugs tested so far on Mac and that look to be good to go so far on macOS still to be tested on Windows and Linux
