Description
- Open score
- Layout > Page Settings...
- Make some changes to the page settings and press "Apply"
- Cancel out of the dialog
Expected behavior: All changes made should revert back to previous state when you press Cancel
Actual behavior: All changes remain in effect.
This same behavior happens with the Page Settings dialog, the Edit Style dialog, and the Edit Text Style dialog.
(Tested using r.1812 and v0.9.4, Windows XP)
David: I'm perusing some of the old bug & features requests and I realize this is a _very_ old request but the behaviour you're noting when using Apply is normal, at least for Windows. If I make a change (say in a Control Panel window) without clicking Apply and click Cancel instead then the changes are ignored. If I click Apply first then there's no backing out even though the Cancel button is still available.
I haven't checked but do some/any of MuseScore's option/prefs/popup windows (that have an Apply button) work the way you want them to (the expected behaviour)?
Although I can't find a specific example at the moment, in my experience it is fairly common for the Cancel button to be unavailable (grayed-out) after the changes have been applied. An additional change in the dialog enables the Cancel button again, but it only discards the changes since the Apply.
