That's strange, on my Windows 10 PC the Mixer has a title bar and can be moved as one would expect:

Yes, it is with the 2.4.2 release build.
Did you try rebuilding with wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT? That's when I see the missing title bar.

Update: I've tried setting the Mixer Board frame style to "wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT". This works as expected on Linux, but unfortunately not on Windows. On Windows the Mixer Board is created without a title bar, so it is suck positioned in the middle of the main Audacity window and cannot b...

That looks like a GTK problem, but I'm not familiar with Fedora.

Did you build with wxgtk2? (recommended)
Do you have libgtk2 installed?

1. Set the Selection Toolbar to show "Start and Length of selection". 2. Select the audio to copy. 3. "Ctrl + C" to copy 4. In the Selection Toolbar, set the selection "Start" time to the paste position (about 36:52.8 in your example). Do NOT adjust the Length of the se...

Unfortunately that audio is beyond saving. It is sometimes possible to reduce reverberation, but there's no way to remove strong echoes like that (other than perhaps some bleeding edge experimental use of TensorFlow, but that's way beyond the scope of this forum).

I'll log this as a bug on the Audacity issue tracker. I've logged it. We're getting quite late in the release cycle for the next version of Audacity, and I don't know if the problem in WxWidgets still exists, so no guarantees. On the positive side, if the problem in WxWidgets has been fixed, then t...

I had to look this up as I rarely use Windows. It appears that the initial intention was that the Mixer Board should float above the main Audacity window, but at the time the code was written there was a problem in the WxWidgets library that prevented that from working. From MixerBoard.cpp: //vvv Bu...

Ensure that you connect the cassette player to the Mac before you launch Audacity. If Audacity is already running, you either need to quit Audacity and restart, or "Transport menu > Rescan Audio Devices". Then look for the USB option in the Recording / Input Device setting of the Device To...

Is there any chance you could provide a 'Always on top' feature to the Mixer Board window to stop it disappearing behind when clicking on anything in the main window? I'm not sure if that is possible on Windows. On Linux I can just right click on the title bar and select "Always on top". ...
