Audacity Forum

It's not showing (released version has it).

Plus I feel the interface is a little bit tight/cropped off.

Using Mac 10.4.11 and 1.3.12 beta.

Thanks for the screenshot. Do any other of your Mac apps have this problem?

Try initialising audacity.cfg and let us know if that helps.

Hi Gale

No other apps are a problem.

I followed the instructions of the topic, but there's no change.

Thanks

Then I think it's possibly a Mac problem (did you drag Audacity up against the top of the screen)?

You may be into various solutions I've seen on the web like resizing the window and restarting the app; or resetting permissions (Go > Utilities > Disk Utilities. select your system drive and Verify Disk and then Repair Permissions).

One thing you can try is hitting F11 when Audacity is open. That is Audacity's Full Screen command which hides the Title Bar. If it makes all the windows fly away and exposes the Desktop, go to the Mac keyboard preferences, disable "Hide or show all open windows" then try F11 again in Audacity. It shouldn't work, but then exiting Audacity, reducing.cfg to NewPrefsInitialized=1 then restarting Audacity should have brought the Title Bar back.

Sorry, deleting everything in the file did work . Silly me didn't follow the instructions properly. Do I do anything else (or will it be fixed in the next release)?

Anyway. I clicked on F10 (F11 showed the desktop, as you say) and it showed the title bar, until I clicked on the screen (in which is disappeared).

Can't be fixed without more information. If it happens again, exit Audacity in that state with the Title Bar missing, then:

* Open audacity.cfg
* Scroll down in the file until you see the line "[Windows]"
* Select everything from that line to the next line that starts with a "[" character
* Edit > Copy
* Create a new TextEdit document and Edit > Paste
* Copy and paste that text into a message in this thread

Then remove all the content except "NewPrefsInitialized=1" as before.

The F10 system shortcut should be "Tile or untile all open windows in the currently active application". Does that hide/unhide the Title Bar? I'm not on a Mac, but I did not think F10 did that.

Yes, F11 hides the program (only revealing a little of the bottom).

Think it was F10 that allowed me to see the bar when it wasn't functioning properly.
