Audacity buttons mess up.

[SabbathFan]

They should be like what it's seen usually, but sometimes, the buttons just get messed up (play button is at the top, mic options are at the bottom). Does this happen to you?

This does not sound like a known problem.

Which version of Audacity are you using? (look in "Help > About Audacity")
Which version of Windows?
What do you need to do to reproduce the problem?

Please post a screenshot to show what you mean. See here for how to attach an image to your post: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 49&t=64936

Do you need to use View > Toolbars > Reset Toolbars?

This is the problem I was talking about. Apologies for the very late reply.

You still have not said what version of Audacity you are using (see the pink panel at the top of the page).

Perhaps this happens if you resize the window smaller then maximise it, instead of resizing it larger. I think this is known about. Doesn't View > Toolbars > Reset Toolbars fix it?

By the way you don't have any recording devices enabled in Windows so you won't be able to record.

Actually this is a problem that we have seen before - but it is a "moonphase" problem

I.e. it occurs only very infrequently and so far we have been unable to pin down precise steps for reproducing this (which makes it almost impossibly hard to debug).

It's happened to me about 20 times or so in the ten years I have been using and working on Audacity (QA and documentation) with that same stacked toolbar layout.

I'm not sure if we have listed this as a moonphase bug ever - do you recall Gale?

Ahhhh a bit of searching on Bugzilla revelas this one: http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1532

This Forum report shows the same symptoms though maybe not the same cause.

@SabbathFan: did this happen to you when resizing Audacity windows?

Occasionally I get that ...

Reset toolbars fixes it.

Reset toolbars fixes it.

Yes it does - but it restores to default settings.

What I would love to see would be a handy way of storing my customized layout and restoring it by means of Audacity commands. (I achieve this right now by saving and restoring an audacity.cfg file with my custom settings.)
