When adjusting audio levels and I move my cursor from one track to another, clicking on the new track, Audacity changes my view, losing the previous track I was working on and positioning the new track to fill my viewing area.
Only problem is I still want to view both tracks at the same time (I’m adjusting the audio in the 2nd track in relation to the first). So I would prefer the overall view of the two tracks not to change.
You can resize an individual track by dragging the bottom of the track.
You can make all the tracks fit on one screen: View > Track Size > FIt To Height
You can move Audacity’s Toolbars around (or float them) to make your available screen size larger, see: Customizing Toolbar Layout
You can gain even additional screen height by moving the Windows Taskbar from the from the bottom of the screen to the side - that’s what I do. In Windows 10 and earlier, you can simply drag the taskbar to your desired screen edge. In Windows 11, it is apparently slightly more complicated, see: How to move Taskbar to top or side on Windows 11
Strange that they don’t give you the option to turn off these auto functions.
In the same manner, when I click on a track to change level, it sometimes automates that function, changing the level slightly for me. Again, something I don’t want.
