Displace a note by doubleclick and L/R arrow. Try to reset the position with Ctrl+R.
Expected result: leading space will be reset to zero. Actual result: nothing happens.
It's not really a regression because the same reset doesn't work in 2.3.2 as well.

While I can see why sometimes you would want this, other times you wouldn't. It's important to realize that "leading space" is not in fact a property just of a single note, but of the whole segment, and the note you selected may actually not have anything to do with the reason the leading space was adjusted - it might have been for the sake of another note on another staff entirely. So in that case, it would be quite unexpected to find a reset of one note undoing an adjustment that had actually been made to another note entirely.

Still, other cases it is expected, no doubt. I suppose we could consider special-casing scores of only one staff, or if the selection is a vertical slice encompassing all staves.
