Error in text entry for track labelling

This is an error report not a help request. Please advise if this is not the right place to post it.

I’m splitting up a recording of our band. I add labels at the start of each event (Ctrl B). After the first successful occasion of using the word ‘Crack’ subsequently trying to enter the letter ‘k’ in a label resulted in the cursor moving to the track end (ie interpreting the key entry as a command instead of text.) The only way of overcoming this is by copying the letter and pasting it into the new label.

Audacity v 2.0
Windows Vista SP2
Audacity installed from .exe

Thanks. This is a known issue, but I’m surprised to see it cropping up on Windows Vista. Another workaround is to go to Edit menu > Preferences > Keyboard and assign a different key to the “Move cursor to track end” command. While you’re there you might want to assign the “Move cursor to track start” command to something other than “j”.

Thanks for the report. The issue is known - please see 2.0.0 Release Notes .

Did you undo a delete with CTRL + Z? That is the usual cause.

You can post bug reports on the Forum (after checking the Release Notes) but the preferred method is to e-mail our feedback address .
