Hi - New to the forum.

Audacity 3.7.2
Just installed Audacity 3.7.2 and I am seeing new “cut” behavior.
I edit a lot of meetings between 2-3 people. To reduce the length of some of these recordings I often cut out long pauses between thoughts. I’ll often cut out the proverbial cough or sneeze, and the perennial “ums.”
After installing 3.7.2 when I cut out a “dead air” pause, the editor is cutting the stream at that point. Where I once had one long stream I now have 2. If I proceed going forward to cut out these sound bites I wind up with multiple segments and sometimes there is dead space between them forcing me to drag them together.
This was not the behavior in 3.7.1 and before. I was able to make a cut and the sound file would just roll together at the cut point. For me this is desirable.
In fact this was so troublesome that I had to uninstall 3.7.2 and go back to 3.7.1.
So is this a new “feature” or an unseen bug? If it is a new feature how do I shut it off?
Thanks in advance.
