As usual, I suspect I have a simple fix problem but I cannot find solution after some frustration spent trying to fix this.
When recording, the cursor disappears off the right of the screen, instead of staying visible where I can see it advancing , as the music is recorded.

As always, thanks in advance for your answers, and Merry Xmas to all.
Felix

Perhaps you've enabled "pinned play head", or disabled "Update display while playing".
See here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tim ... tml#pinned

Normally, "pinned playhead" should NOT be enabled / selected, and "Update display while playing" SHOULD be enabled / selected.
