Update: Extra Silence Bug When Zooming Out in Audacity 3.7.3 – Fixed in 3.7.4

Hello everyone,

I originally created a thread on April 22, 2025, reporting an issue in Audacity 3.7.3 on Windows 11 24H2 where generating silence after zooming out during a selection added about 0.1 seconds of extra silence. On April 23, 2025, I was asked again about this, but I completely forgot about the thread and only respond now on June 20, 2025. Since threads get automatically closed after 30 days of no response, I wanted to provide this late update.

I have now updated to Audacity 3.7.4, and the issue is fully resolved. Silence is applied exactly to the selected area, even when zooming out during selection.

Thanks to the Audacity team for the quick fix!
