With fcitx turned on, I can't use Space to play the score or move to next note while typing lyrics. Space works again when I turn off fcitx. This make adding lyrics extremely frustrated, instead of typing the word and just press Space to move forward, now I had to turn off fcitx before pressing Space and turn on after that. Tried pressing Space while fcitx is enabled on ocenaudio and it doesn't have this problem so I think I should report it here and not fcitx.

Severity S3 - Major ⇒ S4 - Minor

If running this "fcitx" thing causes any other program to behave differently in any way, it's definitely a problem there. They must be messing with keyboard processing in some way that might not interfere with some programs but does others. Most like,ly, whatever they are doing would affect all Qt-based programs (like MuseScore) the same way.

Meanwhile, you can use "Alt+right" while awaiting a fix from them (or, a workaround from Qt).
