Hey there. I've got a Mac OSX x 10.7.5 (MacBook Pro) and am using the most recent Audacity obtained by the .dmg installer.
I have been using Audacity for ages without a problem but over the past months I have been unable to isolate bits of audio using my cursor. Instead when I am trying to highlight a certain part of the audio it will jump to a few seconds before or after the exact bit of audio I want, making it impossible edit properly. I am quite sure the problem is not with my computer as I have been using other editing software without any issues like this. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Audacity with no luck.
I'm not sure I have done the best job explaining my problem but any advice would be great.
Thanks

Re: Unable to accurately highlight audio anymore
Perhaps you have accidentally enabled "Snap To" in the Selection Toolbar. If you have, deselect it. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/se ... .html#snap
