Steps to reproduce: 1) Open Audacity 2) Open Preferences (Ctrl+P or from menu) 3) Close Preferences (Enter or click on "OK" button) The main menu disappears leaving just "Fi" showing (screenshot below). The menu does not disappear if the "Cancel" button is clicked. The menu returns to normal as soon as the window is resized.

I can clearly see that "Fi" after closing Preferences but a second or so after it, all the menus seem to be refreshed. If I thrash the disk with some task I can make the "Fi" last for several seconds.

I did not have the issue on Ubuntu 10.x, but on my current Debian set-up the menus do not reappear on their own. Resizing the Audacity window is required to get the menu back.

It's not really a "more recent" distribution (released in Feb 2011). I didn't get the problem on Ubuntu 10.10, perhaps something in Debian is too old?

On Ubuntu 10.10 there is no issue, even if Audacity is built against wx2.8.12. On 11.10 on my netbook, I can reproduce the issue using gnome-session-fallback in Audacity built against both 2.8.11 (PPA Daily Build) and 2.8.12 (my own build of HEAD). If using Unity (which most users will do) the only symptom is an added black square after closing Preferences (where the "Fi" appears under gnome-session-fallback). Still, I agree the problem will get worse as time goes on and should be P2, so promoted.

Does not occur in Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity desktop because the menu is in the top panel and not in the Audacity window.

I've applied changeset 67929 to my local copy of 2.8.12 and it now works properly (slight flicker on close, but I don't loose the menu bar). There is not a lot we can do with this fix directly, because we don't build wxwidgets. However we can point distribution packagers here to get the fix they need to put into their wx packages, which is useful. This link will get you the patch, but it has to be applied with -p4 because of repository paths in the patch http://trac.wxwidgets.org/changeset/67929?format=diff&new=67929 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/audacity/+bug/996407/comments/16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2012-05-23T17:24:30+00:00 Benjamin Drung wrote: I'll take care to get this wxwidgets patch into Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) and later.
