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

• P3 1417 - Linux: Shortcut to move backward and forward from toolbars to tracks does not cycle correctly.
• P3 2288 - Audio clips may overlap
• P3 1807 - NyquistPrompt Scripting command is not functional

Pending

None

Devel Fix-Made

None

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

• P4 2195 - Multi-channel recording pairs the first two channels as a stereo track - I don't have a multi-channel device - Leland tests this as Ok on Linux

To be tested

None

What's to be done about this/these

• P4 1302 - Metadata Editor should be disabled for (external program) in Export Multiple, as in straight export - may need a note or two in the Manual
• P4 2372 - ENH: Export Multiple with (external program) Audacity fails to export if labels have no extension - related to Bug #1302
• P1 2391 - Export with (external program) does not bypass the metadata editor - related to Bug #1302

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
