Hi there!
I've had all kinds of issues with Audacity over the years.
Loads of icons in the app invisible, no format selectable when I wanted to export a file - you name it, I had it.
Until I got so fed up that I contacted Audacity support.
They told me that they have stopped supporting Audacity for the many different linux distros around, it was just too much for them to keep up with.
They recommend the AppImage version for all linuxes instead, it's the only one they keep maintaining, and after some hesitation I installed it (having made sure to scrap all other Audacity debris from my computer).
You know what?
I works.
When I first started the software the starting window froze but I persevered and hit that ENTER button around a thousand times - and eventually I must have done something different and it worked and has done so ever since.
