0) default Mute/Sol settings 1) import an audio track 2) import a MIDI track (as a Note track) 3) focus the Audio track 4) Shift+U and Shift+S shortcuts for Mute and Solo (as advertised on the button tooltips) work as expected - including impacting the settingis in the Note track 5) move focus to Note tracck 6) Shift+U and Shift+S shortcuts for Mute and Solo (as advertised on the button tooltips) do not work

Description Peter Sampson 2017-07-17 07:59:27 UTC 
The shortcuts for Mute and Solo do not work for MIDI Note tracks.

This is worse in 2.2.0 since we now have MIDI playback and have recently added tooltips to the buttons which show the shortcuts.

Testing on W10-CE audacity-win-ra9a6f01-2.2.0-alpha-18-jul-17


The Mute and Solo buttons now work as expected in Note (MIDI) tracks, and the 
flickering has gone.  

The Help buttons in the TCP now have the delay before 
showing.   

All good on Windows

Testing on mac OS Sierra 10.12.5 with Cliff's 19Jul17

I do not get actual sound output from MIDI NOte tracks on my Mac - but apart from that it goes through the proper motions.

showing.   

AFAICT looking to be ok on Mac - but ideally I'd prefer a test by someone who actually gets MIDI sound out of their Mac

Well after a long bout of arm-wrestling with my Macbook I finally managed to wring some MIDI sound out it with an Audacity Note track.

The shortcuts in the focused Note track work correctly

I will mark this as ok on Mac

Tested OK on Linux too.
RESOLVE FIXED

I note that the notetrack Mute and Solo buttons do not show the shortcuts on the tooltips.  Treat as a wording bug (not a residual of this bug).
