Dragging with the mouse invokes the 'Insert empty bars' window
Dear all,
I'm using MuseScore since five days now and I'm impressed. Obviously, there are quite some problems that I still have to master, but for one of them I really need a solution soon. When I drag something with the mouse (a note, a slur, the navigator window or whatever), a window pops up, asking how many empty bars I want to insert, as soon as I release the mouse button. This is really driving me mad. What can I do about it?
MuseScore 1.1
Revision 4611
Windows 7
Kind regards,
Paul Sprangers

That's very weird. The shortcut for this action is Ctrl + Ins. You might have a special configuration on your PC? You could take a look to Edit -> preferences > Shortcuts

Dear Iasconic,
Thank you for replying, although it haven't really helped me yet.
What sort of special configuration on my PC would that be? Anyhow, I'm not aware of such configuration.
The short cuts window show the default short cuts for adding or inserting bars, nothing special there as well.
However, there is a difference between the short cuts and their menu equivalents: on my computer they add or insert a bar immediately, without the intervention of a communication window - but perhaps this is the default behaviour?
Anyhow, I managed to narrow the problem a tiny bit down: only if I drag the mouse more than a few millimetres, the window pops up (after releasing). Smaller movements don't invoke anything unwanted. Unfortunately, most drags appear to be larger than a few millimetres.
Kind regards,
Paul Sprangers

There are two shortcuts. Ctrl + B to insert only one measure and Ctrl + Shift + B to insert severals. In the second case, a dialog popup. It looks like you managed to associate this action with a weird shortcut.
Could you try to Revert to factory settings ?

Dear Iasconic,
Actually, it's all about inserting bars, rather than adding them, that is Insert and Shift-Insert rather than Ctrl+B and Ctrl+Shift+B. Not that it really matters, I've reverted to the factory settings indeed, although I haven't ever changed anything about the default settings - to no avail. Isn't this puzzling? And is really no one else suffering from this weird behaviour?
Kind regards,
