Description Peter Sampson 2019-03-12 11:52:24 UTC

This is a regression on 2.3.0

Append recording into a collapsed track causes a crash on Windows - on Mac you get the spinning beachball  of death, necessitation a force quit.

As it occurs on Win and Mac, I assume "All" (i.e. Linux too)

Comment 1 Peter Sampson 2019-03-12 11:58:22 UTC

Also happens if you just add a new audio track, collapse it and then press Record.

Also happens on W10 with the latest alpha 2.3.2 build I have:
audacity-2.3.2-alpha-237-b0738f6e099fcf3f9d0f58be9b8676269d441f99

Confirmed, also happens on Linux.

Comment 7 Cliff Scott 2019-03-18 14:09:37 UTC

Test OK now on MacOS 10.13.6.

In the process of testing found a bug in the collapse/expand function that will be opened in a new bug.

Comment 8 Peter Sampson 2019-03-25 10:06:39 UTC

Testing on W10 with audacity-2.3.2-alpha-189-8426580f8efc022585de25573ef88ecc1c1846e2

No crash now when append recording into a collapsed track
