Re: Selected part of a track not highlighted
We can't tell if it's selected or not while you are using a custom theme. Try the default "Light" theme.

Re: Selected part of a track not highlighted
You don't have a selection in the track waveform - you have a time range selection in the Timeline.archismanghosh wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 2:20 pm@Trebor, I tried doing that but no use. The selected part is simply not getting highlighted!Check the screenshots in the below Google drive, for reference...

This just defines a time range for Quick Play
See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/timeline.html#usage
You need to click & drag in the waveform to make an audio selection.
