Re: How to locate a commit?

James,

I would like to say that I'm glad you asked that question ☺ - but actually
I'm not. 😉

Well anyway, since you asked, some users have ended up unknowingly screwing
up their project by accidentally bumping the track and/or pan controls
whilst editing their projects.  So I have been looking into this.

Peter has written up a proposal to address this issue.  I am sure you are
aware of it.  See here:
https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Proposal_Locking_and/or_Hiding_Pan_and_Gain_sliders

Personally, I believe most of the suggestions are overkill, with the
exceptions of the Visual Cues; I have written up my own thoughts on the
adjoining Discussion page for that proposal.

But here is what I was trying to look into.  There was a very, very subtle
change between 2.4.2, and 3.0.0, that perhaps has gone unnoticed.  That is
when the cursor is drawn off of the Pan slider in a downward direction,
that the highlight on its control remains. This in my view is a regression
on 2.4.2, makes the visual cues just a little bit poorer, and makes the
whole issue just a teensy bit harder to tackle.
