Do you mean the tooltip for the button? Personally I would like that, but we don't show tooltips in other Edit Toolbar buttons. James as I understand it does not like the shortcuts that we now have displayed in the Transport Toolbar buttons. Yes, a tooltip for the button. I agree with James that a ...

Subsumed within that second P2 is whether we even want per-track spectral selection. This (below) should not really be possible, but as you see, it is; impossible.png This weirdness is because the frequency selection is actually a global (per project) setting, though it is enabled / disabled on a p...

If it was down to me, short term, I would have a Spectral Selection button in Edit Toolbar that turned Spectral Selection on and off, and get rid of the Spectral Selection checkboxes.
