Version 2.4.2
Windows 7
- Startup Audacity.
- Drag in an audio file.
- Press Play-At-Speed
Expected result: It should start playing. I know it did in previous versions.
Actual result: It doesn’t play. You need to click “normal” Play first, stop it, then you can use Play-At-Speed.
Indeed yes, you are right this is a bug (and a regression as it used to work in earlier versions).
I’ll log this on our Bugzilla bugtracker later today.
Good catch - and thanks for the report AyCe

Peter.
It’s a regression on Audacity 2.3.2 - the bug was introduced in 2.3.3
And confirmed as a bug on W10 and macOS 11.0.1 Big Sur
