A couple of issues

Hello everyone. I just subscribed to this list. I've been using Audacity
for a number of years for various and sundry podcasts and the like.

I've recently encountered an odd problem (that may or may not have
already been reported as a bug). I've searched and searched for a
solution, but have yet to find one. Here's the thing:

OS: Elementary OS Freya
Sound device: Focusrite Scarlet 2i2
Audacity release: 2.1.3

There are a couple of issues going on.

The first: Whenever I import a file (such as an mp3 file) and then
attempt to record voice, any time I try to save or even open up the
About Audacity window, it crashes. The only thing I can do is import my
files, record and, when finished, export everything together. Not a big
fan of this, considering should something go wrong, I could lose a bunch
of irreplaceable work.

The second (and this isn't nearly as deal breaking): The device toolbar
no longer shows the drop-downs to select devices. This is actually
important because if I use "default" or anything other than selecting
the Focusrite, recording can be "skippy" or Audacity can crash. Now, as
it stands, I can click around the area and finally get the "hidden"
drop-down to appear...but this is often an exercise in frustration.

I'm including a backtrace of the most recent crash that occurred when I
had two mp3 files imported and opened the About Audacity window to
remind myself what version I was using.

Thank you for any help you can offer!

Jack
