Summary0007435: Ardour git rev 5.10-396-g83e4591 - region split tool not working
DescriptionI have just compiled the latest git version of Ardour:

Ardour 5.10.396
"Atmospheres and Soundtracks"
(rev 5.10-396-g83e4591)
Intel 64-bit - debug

The issue that I have observed today was that the split tool does not work at all.
Steps To Reproduce* Select a track (or multiple tracks) in editor mode
* Click the Cut Mode button, which changes the mouse cursor to scissors
* Click somewhere on the track in order to split it.

What I am expecting is the black cutting line to appear while I keep in the left mouse button, and stick in place one I let go of the mouse button. This behaviour seems to be broken at the moment.
TagsNo tags attached.

Hmm I cannot reproduce the issue. It works as you expect.

Is the region split? Could this just be a visibility issue?

eg. The waveform is drawn on top of the region boundaries, and in your case tose are not semi-transparent (so, depending on zoom level and signal level, you can't see the new region boundary)? I'll attach an example screenshot in a moment.

jhenkins could it be this configuration issue: https://community.ardour.org/node/14221

x42, thanks for posting the screencap. It certainly looks interesting, but in this case the issue I am observing does not manifest like that.

mhartzel, no, it does not seem to be related to the issue you described.

x42, the issue is definitely there, because in the 5.10.0 version offered by the KXStudio project (as well as the official download), the region split works without an issue. Unfortunately I did not attempt to use the split tool for a while, so I cannot say with clarity with which build it stopped working.

I will try to make a little screen recording tonight (never done it before, but I think that this situation warrants something like that) to illustrate this. What I haven't done yet, and will also do tonight, is to go through the build config of 5.10.0 and compare it with my broken build, and possibly doing a rebuild before doing some more testing. I will report back with the results.

I downloaded Ardour 5.10.396 from nightly.ardour.org and can not reproduce the issue. Splitting by selecting the cut mode and clicking on an region with the mouse works fine.

Also works when selecting multiple tracks and splitting regions on them simultaneously. No problem here.

Well, it certainly seems that I created a bug-report for nothing at this point. I did some further testing, and I narrowed down the manifestation of this problem to be consistent with specific recording sessions. I have to conclude that I broke those sessions somehow, and that it is therefore a user issue and not an Ardour issue. If I can prove that this is a *real* Ardour issue, I will do a proper QA-style test-case and log a new issue with visuals.
