Title:
  Hangs for a long time when editing labels on large files

Status in Audacity:
  Unknown
Status in audacity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: audacity

  How to trigger this bug:

   1) Create a fairly long audio file (in this case 45 minutes)
   2) Create a label track with a bunch of long labels in it (i.e. transcriptions)
   3) Try to edit the text in one of the labels, preferably the first one

  Audacity will freeze for quite a long time.

  Actually label editing has a bunch of problems but this one is
  particularly bad...  It turns out that the code that's responsible is
  the "experimental lyrics window", which can be shown when you choose
  "Karaoke..." from the View menu.

  You can easily disable this "feature" by commending out the
  EXPERIMENTAL_LYRICS_WINDOW line in src/Experimental.h, which makes it
  possible to edit label texts.  But I'm sure some people out there
  actually use it...
