Tracks that are the same length in Audacity have different lengths when exported

I have an Audacity project with multiple tracks - all the same length and perfectly in sync:

I export the tracks as wav files using Export Audio > Multiple files - Split Files Based on Tracks.
However when I bring the wav files into Ableton they’re different lengths and out of sync. Stretching the shorter clip in Ableton so that both clips are the same length doesn’t bring them back into sync. All advice very welcome, thanks!

Here are the tracks as imported into Ableton:

Hi there! This is not a fault of Audacity, most likely you have ‘Warp’ enabled on each track, which makes Ableton adjust each imported file to the BPM you have in your project. Hope this helps.

That solved it, thank you! Interestingly this happened with 2 different DAWs which is why I thought the problem must be with Audacity. I guess most DAWs default to having warping turned on. Thanks again for your help, appreciate it.
