Yes, I have got it to work with a combination of Audacity source code
changes and some changes of wxWidgets. I will share later today.

This problem may require yet another wxWindows patch! Dare we?

I fixed things in case you make the window full screen with command + / .
I did not fix things in case you do that with the green button.
PRL

Oh, right you are. I fixed the problem in case you type cmmand + w, but
that is not sufficient.

I pushed in once again, no code change, just to have a better commit
comment. ID is 928cfe2858ac20f28883897d2f0778b7f1c4379b

Aha -- now I see the black screen.
Clicking the title bar does the same thing as the Zoom command in

the

Windows menu. I thought that was what you meant by maximizing.

But no,

clicking the green button does another thing, hiding the bar

entirely unless

the mouse hovers at top.
Command - W does indeed give me a black screen. But then Command

- Q

lets me see the background and other applications again.

Now that I can reproduce it, I see that 2.1.2 did the same, so

there is

not a regression here. Should we block therefore?
I tried with 2.1.1 and did not see this symptom.

So what happens on your Mac, Paul if you unmodified-click the

green

button
then hit the red button?

It isn't a BSOD.
If you hover over the 'task bar' (at bottom of screen) or

(at top
of
screen) then they appear over the black, and you can recover
using
those.
I think it is a pretty serious problem, even if it existed

before

in
2.1.2,
and even if other apps like Libre Office have it, but will

wait

for
Gale to
grade it before making a decision about it.

2.1.2 has the same behaviour but I only saw (what now

appears to

be
the behaviour described) reported once.
2.1.1 does not do it because the full screen there was not a
proper full
screen
but really a maximise.
P2 I think.

Particularly as Peter thought it a BSOD, I plan to block on it

for

up to
5 days from now. Possible solution is to 'catch' that method

closing, and un-maximise before closing, since unmaximised the
wallpaper
comes back. I don't think blocking on it for up to that time

will

significantly delay us, as we still have a lot of checking to

do of

the
release builds, especially signing.

I don't reproduce this problem on my Mac but I have implemented

your

suggested fix in branch mac-zoom-bug in my fork.
