I’m using Audacity v3.1.2 on Windows 10. When I updated to the current version, I ended up wiping my settings, so I’m not sure if this is an intentional change, or mis-configuration on my part!
My problem is as follows: if I have a region of the timeline selected, and click on the timeline to quick-play before the beginning of the selection, playback stops at the end of the selection. The previous behavior was, playback started via quick-play before the beginning of the selected area would continue until manually stopped.
This is sort of disastrous to me, because I use this all the time (testing click removal, if nothing else), so I hope I’m just missing some preference that I’d forgotten about!
