Sudden "memory leak"
If you apply a 6/8 Time Signature to a 4/4 measure, then change it to 7/8, it freezes the application and dramatically continues to eat up memory until the device crashes.
I'm unable to upload the score, but I have attached a video. If this is a genuine bug, I'll go and report it on the issue tracker. https://youtu.be/vzqZO91_EnY
EDIT: Going back, I realize the video doesn't include the cursor, and by extension, the drag and dropped time signatures. However, I think it should still be enough.

No crashing for me on MuseScore 3.5.2 AppImage Linux Mint 20

I can't reproduce either, same OS and MuseScore version
Not sure what was preventing you from uploading the score - a temporary site glitch? - but it's most likely a corruption in the score, so we would need you to attach it in order to investigate.

I didn't mean technologically incapable, just some nuances around sharing the score in general, sorry. You're probably right, though, that it is corrupted or something.

If you're worried that the copyirght owner of the score might complain, that has literally never happened in the more than ten years people have been posting samples here for debugging purposes. So I wouldn't worry about that.
If you mean you aren't comfortable posting your own work here, realize that also, never once in all that time has this ever led to any problem whatsoever.
Uploading a score here to the support forum is nothing like making it public on musescore.com where the whole world sees it. But if you can reproduce the problem also after deleting most of the score, you can upload that version instead.

It seems like it's only on that score, I guess. But I see your point. Thanks for the advice, nonetheless.
