2.2.1 Install corrupted toolbar and preferences

[edwinn]

Greetings and Happy New Year!!

I'm an experienced Audacity user and like it a lot.

In the past week or so, I extracted 2.2.1 Zip file to a simple folder on the C:drive (to check it out) while 2.1.3 was installed.

After running 2.2.1 the Preferences window became corrupt (got really wide) in 2.1.3, which I fixed by deleting pluginregistry.cfg


However 2.2.1 seems to have corrupted the toolbar of 2.1.3.

Should look like this:

How to fix?

BTW you have sync-lock activated ...

You may have clicked on the clock-icon by accident.

[ Sync-lock is not related to your truncated toolbar problem ]

The problem with the toolbar in 2.1.3 is not related to Audacity 2.2.1. You perhaps didn't notice before, or perhaps you are using a different screen resolution, but the chopped off end of the the toolbar is just a problem with 2.1.3 which is fixed in 2.2.1.

How to fix?

Use 2.2.1

Yes thank you, I'm aware of that and use it to delete recorded audio while keeping the Label Track sync'd.

Use 2.2.1

Thanks for the quick reply. Both screen caps are of 2.1.3

The 2.1.3 toolbar got chopped immediately after I ran 2.2.1 from a `portable unzip´ for the first time... for Eval that is.


I'm thinking of INSTALLING 2.2.1 over top (update 2.1.3) but not if the toolbar will be truncated.

Hope the situation is described clearly.

The toolbar is not truncated in 2.2.1.
If you must have 2.1.3, reinstall it via exe file, (not zip file), and choose "reset preferences" when Audacity is first run.
That will fix the truncated toolbar in 2.1.3, (caused by running 2.2.1).

So editing audacity.cfg won't solve it?

I've never seen a toolbar truncated in Audacity until this occurrence.

Will likely install 2.2.1 today depending on this thread.


Thnx,

It didn't on my machine.

I get this on 2.1.3 - but not on any subsequent versions, including the alpha for 2.2.2

Probably not appropiate to state my solution to the 'cropping': but this happened when reverting to 2.1.3 (from the lamed 2.2.1).
