[jaunty] Audacity compressor settings not working

[Timothy Wilson]

Binary package hint: audacity

In the audacity Effect>Compressor window, all the settings have only one option on the sliders-- Threshold: -1dB, Ratio: 10:1, Attack Time: 1.0 secs, Decay Time: 10.0 secs.

In (hardy?) 8.04, this would show a wider slider, with more possibility, though it seemed to not work well there, either.

This renders the compressor effect useless.

Screenshot of the window is attached, along with what 'ubuntu-bug audacity' will attach.

BTW, the 8.04 was UbuntuStudio.

As a temporary workaround, you can:
- Select a 'slider' button (with your mouse).
- Use the left and right keys on your keyboard to change the value.

It is not ideal, but it allows you to use the compressor effect until this issue is resolved.

The arrows workaround does work for me. Thank you very much for posting. As you stated, not ideal, but glad to have a workaround for now.

In the current upstream CSV tree this bug is fixed.

As this issue was fixed in later releases, I'm closing as fix released.
