Audacity on Windows does not support JACK (or ASIO) unless you compile Audacity specially with that support. If you compiled Audacity with JACK support then JACK would be a separate host choice. If you compiled Audacity with ASIO support then ASIO would be a separate host choice. However you don't n...

A bug is something that is accidentally wrong. What is the feature request? An option to export before the start of the track? It's a popular request and I would expect that some time it will happen.
