Select both a slur and a tie and the inspector's title should be "Slur/Tie", this is the behaviour in 2.3.2, and the source .ui file has indeed "Slur/Tie". But now in 3.3.4 the title only says "Slur" or "Tie" based on the element first chosen.

By the way, is it really necessary to have a different inspector title for each breath or caesura? The title distinguishes breath from caesura, that's all it need to do! But right now with accessibleInfo() being the title, it in reality appears to be "Breath mark (comma)", "Breath mark (tick-like)" and so on. I think the information in the blanket is not really needed, maybe a judgement of isBreath() or isCaesura() is enough, and the title being either "Breath" or "Caesura".

And with this PR, there's another "problem" because of this: even if no more than two different types of breathes or caesuras are selected, the title becomes "Breath/Caesura" while one of the types isn't even selected.

_fix #298363: selecting multiple elements with sameType but different subtype doesn't update inspector title

Resolves: https://musescore.org/node/298363.

From 2.x to 3.x, a change was made which leaded to the issue: if oSameTypes != sameTypes, inspectors will not be updated. Even if slur and tie/breath and caesura/articulation and ornament are both selected, for each group sameType will continue to give true, and so the inspector is not updated.

This patch adds another field: sameSubtypes. If sameTypes is true but the subtypes are different, the inspector will be updated too._
