Steps To Reproduce:	1 New project, Sync-Lock off 2 Tracks > Add New > Add Stereo Track 3 Generate 30 seconds Tone 4 If needs be, reduce height of project windows so there will not be space to display more than half the LH channel of another stereo track 5 Select 5 - 7s (unknown if the region position/length matters) 6 Edit > Duplicate 7 Click in Track Control Panel of track 2 and Edit > Clip Boundaries > Split New. 8 Arrow down to confirm presence of track 3 with former content of track 2. 9 Restore down the window using the button top right. You can see track 2. Down arrow does not let you see track 3. Up arrow lets you see track 1 (but also moves back down one scroll). 10 Maximise window while you can see track 2. Drag the vertical scrollbar down to show that nearly a screen height of background has been added. 11 Drag track 2 up to minimal height and restore down. 12 Up arrow and down arrow behave the same and you still can't view track 3.

Description Gale Andrews 2011-05-10 02:09:44 UTC

Ubuntu does not have most of the above problems. You can use up or down arrow to view all tracks in the restored window, though when you reach the top or bottom, further presses just go back and forth one scroll in either direction. Probably up arrow should jump back from top to bottom, and down arrow should jump back from bottom to top.     

Observations on Mac behaviour?

Testing on W1- with audacity-2.3.0-alpha-86-11da92d66846706d83c4cd44a0d05ff34b0f3d4d

I just don't see this errant behavior - it all works fine for me as expected.

Nor do I see it on macOS 10.13.6 with 30Jul18 alpha build.


On both platforms this appear to work perfectly properly with latest alphas
