Audacity Application Crash.
iMac 27 inch, Mid 2011
MacOS 10.13.6
Audacity 2.3.3

I have reported this crash several times to Apple. I don't know when (if ever) you will see those reports.
Audacity 2.3.2 does not show this defect.

I can't reproduce this. Perhaps try resetting your preferences this forum post viewtopic.php?f=47&t=101842

Ah. My mid-2011 17" died last year. Had to upgrade to the 2019. You've got 9 years out of yours so far. Sometimes Apple makes good hardware.
