Keyboard Shortcut (Ctrl+L) Triggers Random Actions

Audacity Help Forum
1

Am I the only experience this or can someone else reproduce the following issue?

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Audacity 3.3.2 (commit 0330b3) on Windows 11
  2. Open an audio file
  3. Select a region to silence
  4. Press Ctrl + L
  5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 a few times

Actual Behavior

Sometimes the section gets silenced, more often than not, it will trigger another random action.
For example it would zoom out, or delete the section, or try to close the track, or open the audio settings, etc.

Expected Behavior

Always execute just the assigned action and don’t trigger other actions

I think my keyboard is acting up and inserting random keys at times. I just noticed some out of place letters when typing in other applications. Actually not sure if it’s the keyboard or Windows…

The issue reported however is most likely unrelated to Audacity
