Minimize and Maximize buttons have disappeared [SOLVED]

Post by David B » Sat Nov 07, 2015 5:41 pm

The Minimize and Maximize buttons at the upper left of the window have disappeared. I cannot move the window down from the top of the screen. Quitting and restarting did not correct the problem. Can you help, please? I am stuck with a small editing window.

I think it's Desktop > Window > Zoom. That should force a correct positioning of the window. Then you can click zoom again to get a smaller window.

Thanks, Koz. That did it. The first place I went to was Window. I saw that Zoom and thought it was to zoom in on the tracks.

It always helps to say what version of Audacity and what version of OS X (see the pink panel at the top of the page).

This problem of getting the Audacity title bar trapped under the menu bar should be fixed in the upcoming 2.1.2 release of Audacity.
