Is there a way to freeze the X/Y axis limits on the audio waveform display so that automatic changes no longer occur? These axis limits seem to get reset much of the time after I add an effect. This makes it much more difficult for me to tell what the effect did to the small portion of the waveform that I was previously zeroed in on.
Windows 10, Audacity 2.1.3.

Re: Freezing Y axis Display?
Sorry but I don't recognise the problem that you are trying to describe. Could you give step by step instructions to reproduce the problem.

Re: Freezing Y axis Display?
Do you want the timeline to stop shifting time (left to right) by itself?
Change the timeline so it doesn't shift by itself:
-- Edit > Preferences > Tracks > [_] Update display while playing. (de-select)
Note: Update Display is good during recording.
