Full Screen mode (Ctrl-U) odd interaction of spacebar with Mixer
maybe it's a bug, maybe an odd feature, but....
-- Windows 11 latest update as of 24/6, latest version of MuseScore (as of 24/6)
-- in Full Screen mode (Ctrl-U), when Mixer is open, with an instrument muted, (any instrument), pressing Spacebar to start/stop play does not start/stop play, instead it mutes/unmutes the latest instrument that was muted in the Mixer....?; changing the instrument that is muted merely makes that new instrument the one that is muted/unmuted/
-- anomaly ends when Ctrl-U is pressed again (leaving Full Screen mode)
Again, not sure if this is a feature, or just what, it's not a major bug, but an annoyance until one figures out what is going on.....

I'm on Windows 10 and have noticed this also, but I click into a "safe" place in the score and then press the spacebar to start/stop play.
Looks like it's fixed in my MuseScore 4 nightly. Pressing the spacebar after muting doesn't "unmute" but now (logically) starts playback.

Thanks for this. First, it's not just me!, and second it may already be fixed. I'm not on the early MuseScore 4 but perhaps it would be worth giving it a go. In the meantime, I can easily just click on a 'safe' spot and carry on ....

It's not just related to FullScreen, but due to the Mixer mute button taking keyboard focus after having been clicked. Switching FullScreen just so happens to move the focus back to the scoreview as a side effect.
