I too have problems with the selection tool being unreliable, and the
envelope tool evoking itself after some editing steps. Have taken to
clicking on the toolbar icons when Y want to make sure. Will try the j and
k trick, too. Thanks

Having been caught a couple of times, I have developed the habit of
pressing k to go to the end of the track and then j to go back to the
beginning before editing. That ensures that only what I want selected is
selected.

Hi Robbie,
in the tracks category of preferences, is the "select all audio in
project, if none selected" checked?

Hi!
I’m using JAWS 17 and Audacity 2.1.2.0 on Windows 10.
I’m experiencing the following scenario:
A selected track is playing and I press shift-A to stop and set the
cursor. Next I press shift-J to select to track start. Then I press Delete
to remove the selected region. On pressing Space, I’d expect to hear the
remaining audio, but the track is empty. All the audio was deleted.
On pressing ctrl-Z and checking the selection length it turns out shift-J
selected the audio from start to finish.
This phenomenon appears to occur randomly. In-between shift-J works as it
should. When it does malfunction I need to unselect and select the target
track repeatedly to make it work properly.
Has anyone experienced the same or is it a known problem? I’d be glad of
any input.
Thanks! Robbie
