Transposition (throught the Transpose dialog) does not work for chord symbols which are coupled to fretboard diagrams—only for uncoupled chord symbols. Although, fretboard diagrams have to be edited manually after transposition, it adds a great deal of extra work if transposition does not work for the associated chord symbols.

I'll try to take a look at this
Actually, on second thoughts, I'm not sure if we really want to 'fix' this. It would mean that the chord symbol itself wouldn't match the fret diagram shown, unless we also changed the fret diagram. So, I'd say that this is in fact a feature, not a bug. Thoughts?
That's a good point. I don't have any additional insight. It's a bit of a no-win situation, unfortunately.
I mean, I think it may be an idea to have a checkbox on the transposition dialogue that allows you to tranpose fret diagrams as well, by somehow rearranging the diagram to be in the new key, but that seems like it would be a difficult implementation for a relatively niche feature. Closing this as by design for now.
