Unable to change length of 8va line
Using Rev 1869 on XP, I am unable to change the active length of an 8va line using Shft left or right. Also unable to select a group of notes and double-click the 8va line. Shouldn't it work this way also?

I'm not sure select several notes and click the 8va line ever worked but Shift left or right shoud work. I does not in r1869. Maybe it the same problem than with voltas? http://www.musescore.org/en/node/1861

yeah, it sounds like a similar problem, only when I use the arrow keys, it doesn't crash. It doesn't do anything. I can place the 8va anywhere, but then it has to take up the rest of the entire measure and cannot span a bar line. I know this worked for me before, so it must be something in the latest revision.
I only tried selecting a group of notes and double-clicking the 8va out of desperation after reading the handbook "pallets" section. It seems like it should work this way, though, and if not, consider it a feature request. It would seem to be much better to have a way to enter an 8va (or other line element) accurately the first time rather than entering one that may or may not be correct and tweaking it afterward.

This seems to not be a problem if I save the file I'm working on and reload. It is only a newly-created 8va line that cannot have its endpoints changed.

I no longer have r.1869 on my computer but I can't reproduce the problem with the latest prerelease (r.1897). Maybe it is fixed?
