Unable to insert a capital S in text fields
Win7 x64
version 1.1 / build 4611
Bug Report
NOTE: I have not tested this in all the other text fields.
Unlike all other Shift-combinations (Shift-A, Shift-B, etc),
when trying to type a capital S in the song title, the
program responds with a popup saying
"command synth-control not valid in current state"
I was trying to type "Cherokee Shuffle", and the popup shows
up as soon as I get to Shift-S.
I went to
(Menu/Edit/Preferences/shortcuts-tab/synthesizer -- clear, ok)
and removed the Shift-S shortcut, but I continue to get this popup message.

Is this in the Create Score dialogue?
Or were you adding the Title to a vertical frame?

From Menu/Create/Text/Title, whichever one that is.
Also same result Menu/Create/Text/Subtitle.
The original file was generated by converting from a midi file,
so it had no title to start.
Create new score window (Menu/File/New) field for title
does not have this problem. It allows capital "S".

Weird. I've never seen that, and have had no problems entering S's myself, but one of my students ran into something where an S in the *subtitle* field displayed funny (I don't remember what was wrong, but it was obvious). That was on a Mac, and I always assumed that was why I could never reproduce it.

This is the popup I get when I press Shift-S in the Title field.

This happens if Shift-S is the keyboard shortcut for the the Synthesizer.

Interesting bug! My MS didn't have the Synth shortcut defined so I went ahead and assigned it to Shift-S and the bug came up. After clearing and restarting MS the bug still exists. I would expect that I will have to do a factory reset to get rid of this bug. No shortcut should ever activate in text edit mode.
In reply to Interesting bug! My MS didn't by schepers
Just delete that shortcut and everything is fine (again)

@Jojo That was the first thing I tried. It did not help. Did you try it and it worked for you? If so, which OS are you using?

WinXP SP3 and MuseScore 1.1

Umm, that's not so easy under 1.2, apparently. I defined Shift-S, saved and quit/reloaded to confirm it was set. Now, selecting and saying Clear, along with saving and quit/reload shows the shortcut to still be defined so Clear doesn't seem to remove the definition. The only way I can clear it is to select it and press Reset to Default or a more complex method through Define.
Still, this definition should not be active during text entry.
