Screen does not scroll with cursor during record/playback

Audacity records and plays back OK but the screen does not follow along with the cursor. It stays stuck at the beginning and I can only see the recording in playback if I move the scroll bar at the bottom manually. Is this a bug or is there a setting to get the screen to refresh as the cursor travels?

Go to Preferences > Tracks then check “Update display while playing”.

Thanks Bill! I looked at the Preferences about 20 times but somehow that checkbox listing didn’t “click” when I saw it.

It’s enabled by default so you must have unchecked it at some stage.
