Description Steve Daulton 2019-08-08 13:01:22 UTC

Greying out of items in the Tracks menu is inconsistent.

With an empty project:

Mix -> sub-items : greyed out
Resample : greyed out
Remove Track : greyed out
Pan -> sub-items : greyed out
Align Tracks -> sub-items : greyed out
Sort Tracks -> sub-items : greyed out

Mute / Unmute -> sub-items : not greyed out


With a project containing audio tracks, but no audio tracks selected:

Remove Track : not greyed out
Mix -> Stereo Track to Mono : "may" be greyed out


Current thinking is that "friendly educational messages" are better than greying out menu items.

This is not an ENH it is a regression on 2.3.2 and earlier Audacities - I alreadty posted this (simultaneously with Steve here) as P1 2193
