Audacity Forum

Ensure that your computer is fully updated well before you start (allow time to fix any problems that Windows update may bring), then disable Windows update for the duration. Similarly for your anti-virus.

I believe I'm left click holding on the timeline above the waveform

To make a selection, click and drag on the track waveform, not the Timeline above.

I highlight (select) a section How are you doing that? Is the waveform correctly selected as shown on this page: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/audacity_selection.html then Edit Cut, or Delete How are you doing that?

I'm just guessing and we will probably never know what actually happened ;) Oh, no, I just tried it and the part whe...

It's difficult for me to work out what you are doing because you've not shared your Python code, but I'd guess you need something like:

If you launch Audacity (one and only one Audacity window), set the window size and toolbar layout as you want it, then close Audacity, the window size and layout should be remembered the next time you launch Audacity. Having said that, why do you need to have 9 windows open at the same time? Audacit...

Your profile says that you have Windows 10. Do you have a Windows machine as well or is your profile incorrect? I record with a mic that plugs into a regular Mic Jack in the back on the G4 tower. My problem is that I cannot hear sound when I record with audacity. Where are your headphones plugged in...
