Project
MuseScore
  1. Open 2.X score by dragging the file to MuseScore
  2. Drag the same file again
    Result: MuseScore asks whether you want to save changes.
  3. Click "Don't save"
    Occasional result: MuseScore crashes. I bet on the fact that MuseScore crashes when the cursor keeps green plus icon behind the cursor meaning drag state.

Expected result: Usually, when message box appears, "green plus" disappears and opening performs correctly.

Is there anything one should do to trigger the crash or the occurrence?
Is it score-specific or does it do it with all scores you tried (I know, difficult question if it is random and rare)
Should you Reset all positions when opening?
After dragging the score the 2nd time, should you Don't Save, Cancel or Save the first score before it re-opens the score?

I have been unable to reproduce. I dragged the same v2 score 5-7 times and was unable to get it to crash.
