Cannot trim or export a selection in Audacity 1.3.3.-1build1, Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 64-bit

I also forgot to say that my audacity configuration is the default one, I haven't changed anything.

Thanks for the bug report. I'm having trouble reproducing this with 1.3.3-1build1, running 64-bit on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 CPU. I recorded a 5 second sample with the ALSA backend, and was able to select a portion of the recording and export.

Is your system a fresh install, or an upgrade from feisty? Also, could you describe the specific steps to reproduce the crash? It may require more than my test case exposed.

I have just done a clean install of Gutsy. Here are the steps:

1. File->Import->Audio...
2. home->guru->Music->Armand Van Helden - I want your soul.mp3
3. Left click on the "I" looking icon (Selection Tool)
4. Grab the gray double arrow at the 0 position (cursor changes shape) and drag it right to a certain part of the song
5. I try to click Edit->Trim or File->Export but they are both greyed out.

The double gray arrow is not the same as the selection region. Using the selection tool, click+drag over the waveform, not in the time bar. You'd have to read the docs to find out what the gray arrow thing is.

Closing this bug report on the assumption that the last comment from Peter Cordes resolved the problem. If the problem persists, please reopen the bug report by clicking on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New".
