If you select one track then press SHIFT + R then it works.
So, should SHIFT + R throw up an error message telling the user to select a track for append-recording rather than throw up that unhelpful error message?

Bill,
curiously I had just independently tried that track selection trick as some further testing and was just about to report back - you beat me to it ...
But yes - a more sensible and informative message would indeed be helpful

For your information, on Linux, it just records the same thing onto all tracks, as long as you don't try recording a stereo input into a mono track.
