tracks move together

[Canary]

I have Windows 10 on a Dell
I don’t know what "exact three section version of Audacity.
I think I had the exe version of Audacity

I’ve never seen this problem in my years of using Audacity

I have a stereo track with a sound file
I put in a second sound file and tried to bring it up to the end of the first file, in it’s tracks of course
but the other file moved with it making it impossible to sync them up. Have you an ideas?

Perhaps you’ve accidentally enabled “Sync-Lock”: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/edit_toolbar.html#link

@Canary

But all tracks move as one.

Please see my previous reply.

Windows 10
Audacity 2.0.5
downloaded the .exe

You have an old version. I strongly recommend you download the current 2.1.2 version from us: http://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows

It is best to reply in your original topic if you still have an issue, rather than start a new topic. That just confuses those trying to help you. Yes, I deleted your new post at the same time it was being merged back into this topic.

No, Steve answered you. See https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/tracks-move-together/44017/2

@canary

I deleted the Audacity I had and downloaded a new program Nothing changed. Another quirk: I used to be able to drag a sound file into the program but now I can only bring another file in using import.

Use the current 2.1.2 from us (see above) rather than download random versions of Audacity.
