#10 Can't select current region

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to transcribe a *.wav file with TableTrans.
When I have assigned an annotation to region x to y of
the sound file and then try to select a region that
lies INSIDE that region (i.e. a region a to b with
x<a<b<y), TableTrans always automatically selects
region x to y and jumps to the corresponding
annotation in the table. I cannot add an annotation
for region a to b. Is that intended behaviour? Am I
doing something wrong?

Hi,

Thank you very much for the report!

I just did a quick test, and the behavior that you reported,
however, didn't seem to occur. What I did was:

1) Selected the region from x to y by swiping the region
while holding down the mouse button 1. (Region highlighted)
2) Hit Return. (New annotaiton inserted)
3) Selected the region from a to b, where x<a<b<y (New
region hightlighted)
4) Hit Return (New annotation inserted for the region
between a and b)

Could you please tell me which version (and which platform)
of TableTrans you were using?

Thank you very much,

Thanks for the quick reply!
I think I'm using the version named 'AGTK Windows 1.0.2.'.
What I do is:

1) Selected the region from x to y by swiping the region
while holding down the mouse button 1. (Region highlighted)
2) Hit Return. (New annotaiton inserted)
3) Selected the region from a to b, where x<a<b<y (New
region hightlighted)
4) Press 'Play' on the wave surfer interface (region x to y
is highlighted, the table jumps to the annotation I made in
step 2 <-- this is the error!)

Step 4 is something you'd naturally do, because you have to
check whether the region you highlighted is the one you
want.

Hi,

I see. It's certainly a bug (or a design flaw). What it
does is to highlight the existing annotation for the region
spanning x and y because this region includes the current
playing point --- but it shouldn't happen in this situation
as you pointed out.

I will fix this as soon as I can, and when it's done, I will
upload a new minor release.

Thanks again for the report.
