Public bug reported: As reported in https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/7108 by someone else, but fully reproducible with the oracular build of 3.6.1, the interface waveform render goes blank after a bit of zooming.
This is an upstream bug fixed in https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/6955 , merged in the upcoming 3.6.2 release. I've tested building oracular's 3.6.1 adding just commit bf7b2dd (i.e. https://github.com/audacity/audacity/commit/bf7b2dd95756f6077790ff8d4eb3306833203fa4.patch ) and can confirm it fully fixes this bug. The only reliable workaround I've found is to force the Audacity interface to fully re-render by accessing the Edit -> Preferences dialog, not changing anything, and closing it via the Ok button (as opposed to the Cancel button.) That of course doesn't prevent the problem from manifesting again after a few zoom operations, but it's better than nothing. Quite annoying though. Not aware of the release plans for oracular, but if there are no plans to ship 3.6.2, then that patch should probably be added in, since this bug is disruptive. ** Affects: audacity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2077979 Title: Audacity 3.6.0/3.6.1: Waveform screen goes blank when zooming To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacity/+bug/2077979/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
