Hello,

Something strange is happening after I installed Audacity (2.3.3) on a new OS (Ubuntu/Bodhi):

If I position the curser before the start of a clip, then de-activate the window (put it in the background) and go back to it, the curser position is gone. It’s not sticking anymore like it used to do (like I know it).  
The only way out is to re-position the curser and to not put Audacity in the background.  
But why does it happen?
