OK, have updated the wiki. Unfortunately though, after testing/eating the Easter Egg a bit more, it seems it isn't going to be as useful as I first thought: I can use it in some situations, but I often need to mute/solo just all audio tracks or just all MIDI tracks and, without a way to distinguish between the two/Shift-click multiple tracks/group tracks, this isn't possible. Looks like I'll have to continue doing things the long way :-(

And one more problem has cropped up this weekend, related to audio recording. I'll list what's happening below. Please let me know if you need more info, or want a ticket/qtz uploaded (have recreated on a clean file, for what it's worth):

(times quoted are just examples; actual times seem irrelevant)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- Connect mic to record audio directly into Qtractor (am using a Samson C01U USB mic)
- Start recording at 0 seconds; audio clip will be drawn on-screen as the transport moves (correct behaviour)
- Stop transport at 10 secs, using space bar/Play icon/Stop icon. Audio clip will sometimes "shrink" back - for example, though it was being drawn up to 10 seconds during actual recording, only the portion from 0 to, say, 5 seconds will now be seen

OTHER INFO
- Upon stopping the transport at the 10 second mark, it will remain there (correct behaviour)
- Start of the clip will always be correct - it's only ever the end of it which is affected
- Audio file actually records OK, but the clip isn't drawn correctly. You can drag the right edge of the clip to reveal the missing audio. You can also drag the recorded file from the Files window to the same position in an adjacent track and will see that it's correct - it will match the start of the original recording (0 secs) and the end (10 secs)
- Repro rate was about 70% on a project with a few tracks. Now, on a clean file, it's less than 5%
- I haven't seen this problem when bouncing audio tracks from MIDI (which was previously my main use for audio tracks); have only encountered it recently with direct recording

And, as per the above, if you have any advice on recording/clipping avoidance (stick to WAV, or whatever), please let me know.
