After opening a WAV file in Audacity 2.3.2, it lines up flush left on my screen at 0 on the timeline. Good.
But when I hit play - the timeline and WAV file view shift far right on my screen, exposing about 6 seconds of negative timeline.
I must have accidentally configured the timeline to do this? I don't need to see all the negative seconds on the timeline. How do I reset back to "normal" view? - Bob

Re: Screen view / Negative numbers on timeline
It's because you have enable Pinned play-head.
