The Bracket Feature has a possible bug in it
So, I wanted to test out the "non-overlapping" feature of the nightly build. However, I tried to make a bracket span the S A T B staves, but in did not. I would right click it to make it blue and bring up the menu, then I would click "edit element" and then I would click on the box, and drag it down. What happens is that the bracket has a "spasm" where it only shakes up and down. It does not move downward at all. The bracket I used was the one that looks sort of like this [ . Try to make the current bracket I have on there cover all four staves. I have done this in past versions, it works.

Good to know. Hey, there was another thing interesting I saw when testing what I was initially testing. I put the Alto part on a C4, and then I Put the Tenor part on an F# 4 and just kept on pressing the up arrow key. *The Alto note was on 1st beat, the tenor note was on 2nd beat. When I kept on moving the tenor note up, the score sort of "jumped" it would space out for one half step, and then exist side by side for the second one, and so on and so on.

Hard to picture what you mean - if it's something you think might be a bug, best to post the score and steps to reproduce the problem.

Okay, I have the Alto and tenor notes here. All that needs to be done is click on the tenor note, and then keep on pressing the up arrow to see the "jump".

Ah. That is actually correct behavior. One of the new features in MuseScore 3 is that extra space is automatically added between staves when necessary to avoid collisions between notes. So as you raise the pitch of the tenor note, space is added betwene the staves any time the note would collide with the alto note. The reaosn it appears to jump back and forth is that the note itself isn't the problem - the accidental is. So extra space is needed only when the note has an accidental.
