And I've tested this today on my Mac and it works just fine and dandy.

Also you'll probably be please to know that the default for the half-size is "off" - so by default you get both halves of the waveform in a collapsed track.

Anyone know in what version this default started? Not interested in bleeding-edge 2.3 (I use it for work, not play, so if it's higher than front-page I don't want it), and really despise the half wave view of collapsed tracks (all of the tracks I'm not working with at the moment are collapsed). I really want to back-step to a version that doesn't default to this.

This is why I should know better than to upgrade open-source that ain't broken...

Stick with the released 2.2.2 for now and go to Edit > Preferences choose the Tracks tab then and uncheck Use half-wave display when collapsed - hey presto: you get full collapsed waves ...

And BTW the upcoming 2.3.0 is pretty near to release now and not much is different just some cool new stuff added.
