Windows 7, GIT commit: 63ee4cc

1) open attached score (or see below to create example from scratch)
2) click the quarter note
3) press 7 to lengthen it

Expected result: the chord symbol on beat 3 remains in place (this was 1.3 behavior)
Actual result: it is deleted

The same issue exists for staff text, dynamics, etc - they remain in place in 1.3, but are deleted in the development builds. One could argue what the expected behavior actually is for some of these element types, but I think for chord symbols in particular it is clear: they should remain in place.

The example can be created from scratch as follows:

1) new score, single instrument
2) enter a single quarter note in first measure
3) attach chord symbols, staff text, dynamics, or other elements to beats 1 & 3

Renamed to better describe issue. It turns out the same applies if you select the contents of a measure and hit Cut or Delete: chord symbols, staff text, dynamics, and other annotations in that region are deleted. In 1.3 they were not.

I have a simple fix ready to go for both manifestations of this issue, assuming we agree the current behavior should be considered a bug.
