This is a known bug in 1.3.9 when you have a label track and "Link Audio and Label Tracks" is checked in the "Tracks" menu. Turn this option off or get rid of the label track before doing your editing. Wait until you have done all of your editing before adding the label track. Once you turn linking ...

Actually, this is: "P3 Label tracks: typing "j" or"k" in a label may activate the "move cursor" shortcut instead." It was around back in 1.3.5 or so, and appears to have been fixed in 1.3.9, but the Team is not sure. So If you're having this difficulty in 1.3.9 and in the file-save dialog, the Team ...

Which version of Audacity are you using?

That problem of characters typed into the file save box activating keyboard shortcuts sounds familiar.

Also unchecked the "link audio and label tracks" for now. Suspect I'll need to recheck it when making labels. Turning linking back on will get you one thing: when you change the length of the audio track the labels will adjust to the change. In effect the labels are stuck to the audio instead of th...

Do you have a label track below the stereo track, and do you have "Linked tracks" on? Look under the "Tracks" menu to see if "Link Audio and Label Tracks" is checked. This is a known bug in 1.3.9. Turning linking off will solve the problem but the labels will no longer stay in sync with the audio. D...

Do you have "Snap to" on?
