Envelope not applied strong enough after "Mix and Render"

Audacity 3 Help Forum
1

I have this track and I want to make a portion quieter.
I use the envelope tool to control how it fades and I align the strength of tyhe signal with a overall track.
Before “Mix and Render“, it “looks“ aligned, but after “Mix and Render“, the result is always louder than I expected.

(I don’t have any real-time effect, and my track volume is unchanged).
Is is normal?
Attached, the screenshot wit hthe original tracked + envelope above, and the “mixed and rendered“ version below.

Your envelope looks weird: the blue envelope outer lines should be attached to the grey area …

I think it is because my track is displayed in logarithmic mode.

Envelope still looks the same …

My track is 192kHz 32 bit float.
I work with Audacity 3.7.7 on Windows.
Do you think it could be the reason why my envelope does not behave as expected?

I’ve never seen an envelope like yours, so my guess it’s a bug.
