All built-in "Generators" (Chirp, DTMF Tones, Noise, Silence, and Tone) operate the same way. The "default" Duration is automatically set to the length of the current Selection. This is an intentional feature to allow the generator to generate the exact number of audio samples to...

I agree that it looks much better, even though I'd not found the previous behaviour to be a "problem".

Audacity solution: - "i am audacity - no screensaver" No, that's not true. I've just tested on Windows 10, set the screen saver to come on after 1 minute, launched Audacity, generated a chirp, then waited. After about 1 minute, the screen saver started. The screen saver did not come on wh...

I think it would be more logical for focus to return to "where it came from" after applying a Macro (as you implied), but if our blind users are happy with how it behaves now (and I've not seen complaints) then I'm happy for it to remain as it is now. Our accessibility advisor also prefer...
