Manually adjusted slurs move on save/reload for small / scaled staves

Hello,

In addition to the jumping hairpin problem, which seems to have been resolved with the latest nightly build, slurs which have been manually adjusted also leap out of position when the file is re-opened. This occurs regardless of the file having been save in continuous or page view.

I cannot reproduce this in a score I create from scratch, but I can in the score attached to http://musescore.org/en/node/37906. The slur in the violin part bar 5 shows the jump already having taken place. Open the score, delete that slur, add a new one in that same location, drag it slightly to apply a user offset, then save and reload, and you'll see a similar jump. Do another save and reload and it jumps further and further with each reload.

I did try fresh test scores where the slur was in a non-top staff,, but it still works in the test score. Something special about this score seems to trigger it, but I haven't figured out what.

It may be how the slur was adjusted. I created the slur, then moved it using the bottom center square (which moves the whole slur). The adjustment was not created with the mouse, but by typing in -.5sp into the inspector, vertical adjustment.

That is indeed a little unusual, but I was able to reproduce in your score after deleting your slur and inserting my own, and I adjusted by dragging.

Each staff has the Scale value (under Staff Properties) adjusted to 75%. This is causing the slur shifting. XML export/import doesn't preserve this value, so it's reset to 100% upon load and the problem is not seen.
