Description Steve Daulton 2020-05-21 16:10:15 UTC

If multiple projects are opened simultaneously by selecting multiple .AUP files, or multiple audio file of the same kind, then 
"Right click > Open with > Audacity"

Then when a label is created with "command + B", although the label text appears to be open (it is white), it does not have focus for typing.

This was reported as a regression against 2.3.x (I'm not able to test that right now).

Comment 1 Peter Sampson 2020-05-22 12:22:35 UTC

Testing shows this is a regression on 2.3.2 

The bug was introduced during 2.3.3 development

Comment 2 Peter Sampson 2020-08-21 08:18:52 UTC

Testing on macOS 10.15.6 with Audacity 3.0.0 25ddfc7

This now works with 3.0.0 alpha - at step 5 the text is properly typed into the label
