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
• P2 2334 - Mac: AU effects cannot Export or Import the effect's settings
• 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
• P3 2036 - Mac: Some AU plug-in effects can be enabled but fail to register - technically this bug as written is fixed as the AU effect can all be registered and enabled - BUT they don't work
