OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.0.0.4839, revision: cf1f5ce
1) Default score
2) Enter some notes -> Exit note input mode
3) Select/click some of them, as you want, by holding down Ctrl
Expected result if clicking outside the notehead (or rather on both sides of the staff): the previous selection remains highlighted
Current result: the selection is lost (as the feeling to return a few years back when this essential feature was not yet implemented!) :(
Comments
I'm not quite understanding, Ctrl+click seem to work fine for me. If I Ctrl+click a note, it gets added to the selection. If I Ctrl+click some empty space, everything gets deselected, which is indeed what I expect. But I guess 2.3.2 didn't work that way when you Ctrl+click an empty space - it doesn't deselect everything? To me, that is a bug, but I do vaguely recall there being discussion that it was too easy to do that accidentally, so I guess we changed it to not do that. So yes, losing that particular behavior is bug, but still, Ctrl+click does work normally when used in the normal way, right? Or are you saying it fails even when used normally (not to Ctrl+click an empty space)?
I've changed the title to reflect what I think you are saying, and what I am seeing.
See: (of course, first test was done with the 2.3.2, and not 2.0.3, sort of 3.0 inversed I guess!) :)
OK, got it.
IIRC, the timeline functionality was built around this Ctrl+click deselection. However, that was at the measure level, not the note level. Can someone confirm if it is supposed to happen at the measure, note level, or both?
