This is the audacity forum where the problem was discussed : https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=108405 Initially we assumed it was only a problem when closing a "second" audacity window (via Ctrl-W), because also the first window suddenly disappears, where normally only the second window should close. Hence the title of the forum discussion "Close = Exit now?: I can't close only 1 window at a time anymore" After some tests conclusion is that also closing the 'only' window causes a crash (which you only notice when looking in the systemlog, or via the "segmentation fault" displayed when audacity is started from the console. Indeed, I'm using Tumbleweed x86_64, on a i686 processor. Already nice that you could reproduce it.
