Using Audacity 2.3.3 on Pop!_OS 20.04, the waveform in the audio track viewer has stopped working.
Playback and edits(*) are okay, but the audio track doesn’t get updated properly to reflect the edits, highlights, zoom in/out, or scrub audio, whether by mouse or keyboard.
I believe it started when I had to hard power-off my laptop when it froze.
Upon restarting after that power-cycle, Audacity offered to clean up orphaned files which it said were “small and unrelated to the current project” or something to that effect.
*edits = I can record audio and can (cut highlighted audio via scissors button)
To troubleshoot, I have
- uninstalled Audacity 2.3.3
- removed my data folder via
rm -rf .audacity-data/
- reinstalled Audacity 2.3.3
- uninstalled Audacity 2.3.3
- removed my data folder via
rm -rf .audacity-data/
- installed Audacity 2.4.2.
I installed each version as a .deb file from Pop!_OS Pop Shop. (I have not tried installing either of them as a flatpack, which I might try after posting this.)
In the screenshots, notice different zoom levels, but the audio track is unchanged.
