Aug dot bug

Aug dot.PNG

STR:

Cut time bar.
Voice 1: C natural dotted 1/2 note
Voice 2: D natural whole note
Voice 3: Ab dotted 1/4. When added it is positioned on 1st time-position moment in bar (no conflict avoidance).
Double click Ab, ctrl rt. arrow to improve position.

Expected: only dot of dotted 1/4 note will move.
Actual result: Both dots move.

I would expect the dot of the 1/2 to remain, allowing me to place it before the Ab dotted 1/4.

It seems that the only way is to select the dot and use offset by Inspector

Thanks for the work-around Franz, that worked.

I had to move the dotted 1/4 first and then select the dot of the dotted half and move it back.

However I believe this is still a bug.

We follow the common rule that says dots should be vertically aligned in these cases, so it's not a bug but a deliberate choice. That said, there are other optional rules that are others follow that can be valid too, which is why we also provide the override.
