Hello Alister, Wonderful to know you're still out there. The list has been very quiet. My latest install of Buster was probably done in December of 2020. I had been running Jessie up until then, but finally it had to go. I normally use either the "GTK Wave Cleaner" package provided by Debian 10 (version 22 with no suffix shown) or my still-favorite version of 0.21-18. Last time I used either was about a month ago and things seemed normal. I didn't use it again until yesterday and that was when I noticed this oddity. Everything seems to work, but the scrolling cursor bar doesn't appear or if/when I highlight an area and hit play, the bar stays at the beginning of the highlight area. I did a full reboot to make sure nothing was locked up, which didn't help. I downloaded the latest version from sourceforge (0.22-4) and it compiled fine. I ran that version too, and it also has this cursor problem. So the same issue exists whether using 0.21-18, 0.22, or 0.22-4. Something changed within the last few weeks but what? Video driver? I am using Nouveau. I always use Nouveau as long as it plays nice with Netflix. I had the proprietary Nvidia drivers a few years ago but there was some issue and I went back to the free Nouveau package. I just now fired up Audacity to test it, and the cursor moves OK on that one. I know it's apples to oranges but it was easy to try. I don't prefer Audacity for anything besides recording. So that's where I am with this. I don't think the issue is with GWC at all, but something changed in a system file that doesn't play nicely with that cursor. I am willing to try the 2021 cleanup version to see what happens.
