audacity 2.4.0.rc5 version, selection panel, huge numbers in right column (current position)

Zoom max. And why not? Before everything was fine with any zoom level. "Windows" key action: it turns out ever in previous version:

Ahhhh, now I realize what's happening - this was a deliberate change we made in 2.4.0 to fix this bug and arises as a consequence of that:

At some zoom levels the light-blue/white selection visual cue disappears

So what you are seeing is a cursor that is positioned between samples (the black line) and the actual audacity point "selection" made with the cursor i.e. the nearest sample (only samples can be selected - not the space between them). This is the light colored line through the nearest, the selected, sample.

When you press Windows key - a window "left selection boundary" appears.

I cannot reproduce this with RC05

@юра00 I'm guessing that you are not testing a clean installation.
Try resetting Audacity Preferences, or set up a Portable Settings folder for RC05 to use.

If you really must work at such close zoomed in levels and you don't want to see the double lines:
1) set the time format in the Selection toolbar to hh:mm:ss + samples
2) set Snap To (in the Selection toolbar) to be on
