On Mac Audacity 3.7.8, the screen resets to the top of the project every time you click on a track.
Steps:
Add enough tracks to require scrolling
Scroll down to a track and select it (left click on name to Select All)
Screen resets to the top
I’m not seeing this with Audacity 3.7.8 on a Macbook Pro M4 with macOS 26.5.1.
Here is a screen recording.
You can see it occurs when clicking the leftmost track selection box. It also is not 100% repeatable. The 2nd track I select doesn’t reset the screen, but the 1st and 3rd tracks I select do.
Macbook Pro M1. MacOS 26.5.2
Well, that clearly shows the problem. But I still can’t reproduce it.
Does it do it with just this project, or with any project?
Would you be able to go to Github and log it as an issue?
Unfortunately, it happens with every single project.
