Export selected section

I've been using Audacity on my Windows machine for a while. Finally got around to installing it on my Mac. Here's my problem.
When I try to export a selection as mp3, things get weird.
Once I input the file name, the selected are disappears. Then the output isn't exactly the area I selected.
Any tips on this ?

Upgrade to 1.3.12

1.2.x has a weird thing where when you type certain characters into the file save dialog box they trigger actions in Audacity. That could be why the selection is changing.

it seems any input affects my selected area. once I overwrite the existing file name, things go bad.
Does version 1.3 have the same problem ?

No. That's why I suggested you try it.

audacity 1.2.x doesn't work well on modern macs (10.5 or higher). Upgrading to 1.3.12 is strongly recommended!

Yup 1.3 seems much better.
