In macOS Ventura, I have problems doing the following:
Open Audacity
Press R to start recording
After a few seconds, press space to stop
Command-s to save the project
The track is saved as aup3 BUT the window loses focus.
Still, Audacity is the main application, it has focus in the topbar menu.
If I press command-w the window closes but if I press j to go to the project’s beginning, it gives an error because some track should be selected and there is none selected.
Try this:
Open Audacity
Press R to start recording
Press space to stop
Press J to go to start of track
error message: “Track Start requires one or more tracks to be selected”.
It may seem a bit strange that a newly-recorded track is not selected, but this behaviour goes back to at least 3.0.0.
The Home key will go to the project start even when no track is selected.
