Description Leland Lucius 2020-05-03 23:38:29 UTC

Unless I'm missing something, it is impossible to select a genre from the list of genres in the Metadata editor on the Mac.

Comment 1 Peter Sampson 2020-05-04 05:50:44 UTC

Confirmed on macOS 10.15.4 with 2.4.0 RC05

Raised it's priority to P3 (borderline P2) 

This is not a regression on 2.3.1 and later - but 2.3.1 is as far back as I can not regression test on Mac as Catalina only supports 64-bit apps


OK on W10

Comment 2 Peter Sampson 2020-08-21 08:57:17 UTC

Testing on W10 with Audacity 3.0.0 25ddfc7

This now works properly
