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.

See the Talk page for bugs resolved in earlier releases.

Re-opened

• P2 2107 - Mac Accessibility: if a text box is the focus, pressing enter does not press the default button - needed retesting after the fix for 2267
• P4 2307 - Linux: Time Toolbar: the context menu LDPBT can be totally or partially obscured when resizing/relocating - ok now on Win & mac
• P2 2318 - Time Toolbar is needlessly resized too large when accommodating longer time formats
• P2 2327 - ENH: utility needed to convert EQ presets from .xml to .txt

Pending

None

Devel Fix-Made

• P1 2346 - Selected wave color wrong after applying Nyquist effect or Generator
• P3 2344 - Windows: Generate Support Data shows info/error message re. language
• P4 2343 - Presets: Effect Ids not the same in Presets as for Macros

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

None

To be tested

None

What's to be done about this/these

• P1 2259 - Windows: wxWidgets 3.1.1 debug failure message appears on Timer Record start recording marked RESOLVED - but maintain a watching-brief
