I experiencing this under debian testing on wayland (audacity 2.3.3).

Seems to be wayland related. Changing the session to Xorg solves the
problem.

I am reporting this to the developers here
https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/471

Dear Maintainer,

I switched from GNOME to XFCE the other day and I happened to listen to
my old recording using audacity

The timeline cursor works fine under X11
Wayland is the cause...

I can add that the playhead (which is the name for the timeline cursor AKA
the little green triangle) does not appear during playback in audacity
2.4.2 in bullseye. I'm running it on Wayland in Gnome, Linux kernel
5.10.4-1 (2020-12-31) x86_64.

To add more detail to the behaviour:
the playhead should be visible when the timeline is clicked (even when not
playing), but it is not. However, after playback is stopped or paused, the
playhead -does- appear.

Hints:
This issue also appears in the audacity packaged for Ubuntu.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacity/+bug/1877833 speculates
that it's a GTK3 issue. The official audacity site recommends building
audacity from source with gtk2 against wxwidgets 3.1.3, rather than gtk3
against wxwidgets 3.0.0: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/source/ .

Dear maintainer

this exact behavior is still present in the current bullseye build under
Gnome (Wayland).

'apt policy audacity
audacity:
 ...
  Version table:
     2.4.2~dfsg0-4 -1
        990 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages
        300 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
'

Can this please be fixed ?

Or can the launcher shortcut point to 'GDK_BACKEND=x11 audacity' - which
fixes the not working cursor also.

Regards

Marc

   * Workaround patch for playback cursor under wayland
     Audacity has no full wayland support yet, so we use X11 to start

     The patch can probably be removed when wxwidgets 3.1.3 is in debian archive

Heya,

please use the desktop icon to start it, then it works. If you try to
open it in console/terminal in wayland then it doesn't, it is
documentated in the changelog:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=962389#17 and in the patch
https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/audacity/-/blob/master/debian/patches/0007-Playback_cursor_workaround.patch


Best regards,
Dennis
