step-time input full bar note value resets to crotchet
reproduce:
- Click in an empty 4/4 bar
- select semibreve value
- press a key to enter note
result:
inserted note is a crotched instead of a semibreve
Same behaviour when you try to enter for example a minim in an empty 2/4 bar.
Only happens when step-time input is started with this. Not a problem when input is already acti ve.

I just tried git master branch. The issue is present with that version. still.
This is correct / by design. You are supposed to select duration after entering note input mode. If you don't, MuseScore takes the duration from the currently selected note. If no single note or rest is selected, it resets to the default of quarter note.
I see. Yes you are right, that's exactly what I did.
And I didn't realize what actually happens because with values shorter than the selected rest you get the impression that what I am trying to do works.
Once the value of the rest has been changed by selecting a shorter value, I enter input mode automatically by replacing the rest with a pitch...
So, I assume this is not a bug, just not apparent what was happening. Thank you.
