Linux: Shortcut to move backward and forward from toolbars to tracks does not cycle correctly
Last modified: 2021-09-03 12:01:04 UTC
Regression on 2.1.2. OK on Windows and Mac. Moving forwards with CTRL + F6 works correctly.
Was this fixed by my recent commits https://github.com/audacity/audacity/commit/8d94cd7db5bb66ecd7cfa72388ba56d18079bc21 and https://github.com/audacity/audacity/commit/e9cf0a8335019df387d75acff05f4f8ecb90660d ? Or broken by them? Or neither?
Also my very latest https://github.com/audacity/audacity/commit/001e3af9cba42215f2aa2162ef5dedbe5ce782a5 turns of focusable ruler, which may be relevant too.
(In reply to Gale Andrews from comment #0) > Moving forwards with CTRL + F6 works correctly. Not completely, press 2 and 3 of F6 is trapped in Selection Toolbar. This part was also a problem in 2.1.2. So changed title to "Linux: Shortcut to move backward and forward from toolbars to tracks does not cycle correctly". Updated steps. Added a release note in bug 33, and this is accordingly P3.
(In reply to Paul L from comment #1) The behaviour as now documented was seen in "e9cf0a8". Am waiting for a rebuild to complete.
(In reply to Paul L from comment #2) As at https://github.com/audacity/audacity/commit/001e3af9cba42215f2aa2162ef5dedbe5ce782a5 which removes the focusable ruler, CTRL + F6 and SHIFT + CTRL + F6 work correctly with docked toolbars on Ubuntu 14.04. Will the focusable ruler stay off? Its only benefit now is to keyboard-navigate to the "Pinned Head" button, and has disbenefit that clicking in the Scrub Bar or Timeline removes track focus.
Are you certain this commit was the fix, and not an earlier one? I might expect that 8d94cd7db5bb66ecd7cfa72388ba56d18079bc21 really did it. It may be unimportant know to know which it was.

Unfortunately as at HEAD right now "cf79f91" I have gone back on Ubuntu 14.04 (Unity) to the behaviour noted in the bug 33 Release Note: "(Linux) The shortcut to "Move backward from toolbars to tracks" does not cycle from the audio track to upper tooldock, only to Selection Toolbar. The shortcut to "Move forward from toolbars to tracks" does not cycle from Selection Toolbar to upper tooldock, only to the audio track. " And currently that is true with Ubuntu 14.04 in GNOME flashback too.
Gale, could I trouble you to do a git bisect to determine which of recent commits is at fault? Email me if you don't know how.
(In reply to Paul L from comment #9) Well I could take time to learn and run git bisect, but are you still aiming to set up a Linux environment? That would make things a lot easier for you in the long run.
I believe this is fixed now.
This is not fixed for me on Xubuntu. > 1 Click in an audio track. > 2 Hold SHIFT and CTRL then press F6 slowly, observing the yellow focus > border around the track. > 3 On first press of F6, focus should be in Timeline and yellow track > focus removed, but focus is still in the track. This still happens. The track still has a yellow border, and as far as I can tell, focus is still on the track. I don't know how to tell if focus is in the Timeline - what does that even mean? --- > 4 On second press of F6, focus should be in upper tooldock, but is still > in the track. On second press, focus has moved away from the track into the "Project Rate". --- > 5 On third press of F6, focus should be and is in Selection Toolbar. Already there. --- 6 On fourth press of F6, focus returns to track as expected. Focus has returned to the track. --- 7 Hold down CTRL then press F6. Focus moves to Selection Toolbar as expected. No. Focus has moved to the upper tooldock, but to different tools each time. I don't see any predictable pattern to where exactly it goes to. --- I gave up at this point.
