Description Steve Daulton 2020-11-19 12:46:46 UTC

If only one channel of a stereo track is visible in the tracks window and a split is added or removed, it will sometimes only occur in the visible channel.

This can be difficult to reproduce, but fortunately Bill managed to figure out repeatable steps. (See: Steps to Reproduce)

This bug has been seen in Audacity 2.3.3 through 3.0.0.

Testing on W10 with Audacity 3.0.0 6050edb3cadb 64-bit

This mow works properly on Windows - at Step * the clip boundary IS removed from the right channel

Testing on macOS 11/0/1 Big Sur with Audacity 3.0.0 6050edb3cadb 64-bit

This now works properly on Mac too - at Step * the clip boundary IS removed from the right channel
