Re: [Audacity-devel] Mixer toolbar colors

[Dominic M. <do...@mi...>]

Holy cow!  Any idea when this started?  That will give me an idea
where to look.

Does it have this behavior when you do anything other than record?
How about anything that doesn't involve playing OR recording?

I'll reboot into Windows if I have to - but I definitely want to
do all I can to get us into a more stable state than this.
