Frustrated with J and K keys [SOLVED]

Post by pxlgrfx » Wed Jun 25, 2014 4:27 am

Occasionally while labeling tracks, any "J" or "K" that I type will not print, instead the cursor goes to the beginning or end of the project. All the shortcut keys seem to work OK. Eventually, the problem goes away. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. It MAY have something to do with incorrect Ctl/key strokes.
v. 2.0.3

Thanks

The current version of Audacity is 2.0.5: http://audacityteam.org/download/ .

The "J" and "K" problem is an Audacity bug but you can read a workaround for it in the Release Notes 2.0.5 .

That seems to do the trick.
