There's no bug here but I wonder if you could set the transpose "by interval" default option to something other than "unison". When would anyone ever transpose by unison? I would suggest "octave" or "perfect fifth" (right in the middle of the options. This change would speed up workflows quite a bit.
Thanks,

Title Transpose feature Request for different default for transpose feature

I agree it seems odd first. But one advantage of the unison default is that it is harmless to hit OK. Also, what would make a reasonable default? Seems a better choice might be, "same as last time".

What Marc suggested above sounds like a good idea, but I'd just like to add that having by octave as default is probably not very useful either, since there is already a keyboard shortcut for this (ctrl + the up arrow key on Windows).
