Milestone
Proposed action: automatically reset toolbars on upgrade
Describe the bug
If the user upgrades from 3.1.3 to 3.20 without making a reset as part of the update the the Toolbar layout is corrupted.
a) the new wider window size is not used (Audacity remembers and reuses the user's previous window size from 3.1.3 or earlier)
b) The Edit Toolbar incorporates a large empty space, unnecessarily more than doubling its width
c) The Tools Toolbar incorporates a small empty space unnecessarily increasing its width by 50%
d) The Play-at-Speed Toolbar remains in the top tooldock area
e) The Device Toolbar remains visible
f) as a result of all the above, the Upper tooldock area occupies 6 lines rather than the 3 one should get with 3.2.0 thereby reducing the space available for a user's tracks.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Actual behavior
Corrupted Tooldock areas
Expected behavior
a) As a minimum the new 3.2.0 window width size should be used
b) Probably a full (perhaps optional) reset to get the default 3.2.0 Toolbars layout (as this is not just a minor change)
Screenshots
1) default 3.1.3 Toolbar layout
2) 3.2.0 after upgrade from 3.1.3 with no reset
3) 3.2.0 after Reset Toolbars
3) 3.2.0 after Reset Toolbars
Additional information (please complete the following information):
Additional context
The simple no reset upgrade (screenshot 2) just looks messy and bad - and thus really should be fixed for 3.2.0 release.
This is effectively a regression as upgrades with previous versions did NOT cause a corrupted messy toolbar layout.
