One of the things I have trouble with is that when I go to click to the left of the Audacity audio track to 'select all,' I often accidentally hit the sliding bar for left and right speaker. I do it more than you'd think a grown man should do.
Anyway, I've had a little trouble with my vision recently so I thought to pull down on the audio track to make it larger (or at least taller.) What do ya know? When one pulls down the track, there is so much more room for placing the 'select all' click!
Problem solved.
I know it's not a big thing in anyone's life, but I am happy enough with my 'discovery' to want to share it.
Aggravation! (or, how to increase the left side space in Audacity)

I am glad you shared Kevin. It is so warm and satisfying to find a fix for an aggravating small problem; it just feels so.... good. Back in earlier days we called it getting a warm fuzzy as different of course from all those cold pricklys that seem to happen all the time.

I'm using Audacity 3.2.4 (yeah yeah, I'm behind the times what with the newfangled version 3.4 and the soon to be version 3.5), and at the bottom of the left-hand side there's a button labeled "Select", right next to a little up arrow button (the up arrow button collapses the track). You can select the whole track with that button.
It seems to still be there in version 3.4, if the screenshots in the current manual are to be trusted: https://manual.audacityteam.org/.
