Bug Description

The little green arrow (aka playhead/recordhead) is not visible during playback / recording in 2.3.3.

As the snap package works ok in that regard, I suspect it's a GTK3 packaging issue.

This bug is also reproducible on KDE Plasma 5.18.5 and a custom build using Audacity 2.4.1.

This bug was fixed in the package audacity - 2.4.2~dfsg0-5

---------------
audacity (2.4.2~dfsg0-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Workaround patch for playback cursor under wayland
    Audacity has no full wayland support yet, so we use X11 to start
    (Closes: #950150, #962389, #988632, LP: #1877833)
    The patch can probably be removed when wxwidgets 3.1.3 is in debian archive
  * Add lintian-overrides to override false positive lintian errors
