Project freezes audacity 1.3.9 [Ubuntu 9.10]

[8one6]

I've had an issue editing a few files after editing them in audacity. I think it has something to do with the project info in the aup file. I had the issue with a couple of projects now. It always happens when I get to the end of a project and try to delete the last few seconds of the data. It seems that if I'm not careful with the selection (if the selection ends past the audio on the tracks I'm editing) then it locks everything up. When the file is reopened it locks up audacity and I have to manually end the process.
This most recent time I opened the aup file in a text editor and copied over the sel0, sel1, and zoom values from another project file that I had and that seemed to fix the problem.

Here's the corrected file that now works.

Here's a copy I made before the change.

Let me know If the project data files would be of any help. (it's about 350mb)

Thanks for the report. This is/was a known problem on Linux if you select past the end of a project. Setting "h=0.0000000000" in the .aup file so that the left edge of the displayed waveform is at time zero is the usual cure.

Unfortunately I'm not 100% clear if we have solved this in the current 1.3.13 development code or not. If you upgrade to the current 10.04 Ubuntu you could test that out in the current Audacity package offered by Ubuntu (or uninstall the Audacity package and compile Audacity from SVN HEAD).

Please post back if this project freeze is still a problem in current Audacity versions.
