Using Ardour 6.0.rc1.2 on Ubuntu 19.10.
1. The Shuttle Speed Control is very tiny and therefore not realy usable (1 - 12 sec)
2. Left click a region and press 'z' to zoom in. After that press several times 'z' to zoom out. Then scroll down to the last track. It gets visually multiplied. (video 15 - 35 sec)
TagsNo tags attached.

The shuttle speed control isn't intended by be particularly fine resolution. You may want to shift the units to semitones. It is also designed to be most usable with a mouse scroll wheel (and in "wheel mode" even more so).

Even so the visual appearance here is odd. The default position for the "handle" should be in the middle, not on the left.

I had the intuition to click and drag the controller and therefore my statement. But yes, it is perfect usable with a mouse scroll wheel.

Do you have any idea how the slide/handle itself ends up on the left side?

No idea. Out of interest I compiled Ardour myself, meanwhile on Ubuntu 20.04. There it looks good.

Where did you get it from before compiling it yourself?

From nightly.ardour.org (now current v6.0-rc1-146, 64bit, gcc5)
There are another few things which look different. The plus button for adding tracks in the mixer has another color, the "add tracks dialogue" has some more entries and the menu bar is slightly bigger in the self build version.

The obvious difference there is translation. That shoudn't have the effects noted, however. Might be a useful clue to help track it down ....

What waf configure options do you use with your self-build ?

I used the commands written by x42 on https://discourse.ardour.org/t/i-want-to-be-part-of-it/103018/2 .
So these configure options:
./waf configure --strict --cxx11 --with-backends=jack,alsa,pulseaudio,dummy

These problems appear to have been caused by errors in the german translation. I have fixed an entire category of error for the de_DE.utf8 translation which I think fixes these errors.

Great, the slide now (nightly Ardour 6.0.rc1.157) looks good. The rest is the same as before.

With the self build version, what steps do you take after ./waf configure ?

Could you attach a screenshot showing the mixer button color difference? Thanks

Here are my complete build steps:

sudo apt-get build-dep ardour
git clone https://github.com/Ardour/ardour.git
cd ardour
./waf configure --strict --cxx11 --with-backends=jack,alsa,pulseaudio,dummy
./waf
cd gtk2_ardour
./ardev

The differences are translations, those are not available when running from source-tree (you'll have to package or install it).
The self-build also shows additional example Track-templates (share/scripts/_*) that are not bundled.

The "+" button style is because you use a different gtk theme and different gtk-version when you compile Ardour.
There are also a couple of other subtle differences when you use default debian/ubuntu's gtk.

Ah ok. Thank you for your explanation.

Thank you very much paul for fixing the first bug in my description.

Should I close this bug report? The second one is reported by another user in 0008061. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to couple these two bugs in one report..
