fedora 5.1.16-300.fc30.x86_64
audacity 2.3.2
Latest install using dnf
When I hit ^W in audacity to save a clip, my fedora login session closed down. After logging back in to fedora, and opening audacity, there was an information screen from audacity, listing a crashed session that could be restored. However, there was no way to move forward from there – audacity was hanging. I used system monitor to kill the audacity process.
The workaround is to delete the crash file in ~/.audacity-data/AutoSave
After that, audacity worked fine. (I will avoid the ^W hot key )
Audacity is not hanging – I actually missed the 3 buttons at the bottom of the recovery window!
However, ^W did cause a logout from the fedora session. A subsequent session also got me logged out of Fedora for a different command activation. I guess I should put this into a thread with a more relevant title.
The hang happened again – this time there are no buttons at the bottom of the crash recovery window. I have a screen shot, but don’t see how to paste into here. I see, “Img is off”. This time the crash happened when I chose, “Close” directly from the file menu.
It seems that sometimes there are 3 buttons at the bottom of the recovery window, and sometimes, not. This time, the bottom of the recovery window has only, “After recovery, save the project to save the changes to disk”, Will need to kill the audacity process.
Thanks for the tip (at the right of the reply screen says, “Img is OFF”, so I assumed I lacked the permission).
Attached is a screen shot without the 3 buttons at the bottom of the crash recovery window.
How peculiar. This is what it looks like on my (Linux) machine with Audacity 2.3.2:
Where did you get the Audacity 2.3.2 rpm from?
PS. After uploading an image to the forum, a new button appears in the “Attachments” tab to “place inline”. When you click that button, it adds the image file at the cursor position in the message compose box, which looks like this:

Sometimes I get the 3 buttons, sometimes, not. Here is the info on my audacity installation:
