OK I mentioned that. http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Multi-Tool.

I also mentioned that you need to have audio fully under the drag bar to drag from the bar. That seems not strictly true but if audio is not fully under the bar, the drag does not work reliably. It doesn't even seem to depend exactly where you drag from.

I think the distinction is justified. Fit in Window still gives you room to click after the end of the track. Zoom to Selection does not, without scrolling horizontally.
