Note: It seems limited to tablature. If you save and close, it works correctly.

I can reproduce. Steps are as follows:

1) new score, classical guitar tablature (defaults to 6-str common, that's fine)
2) measure 1, note entry
3) Down Down 0 Right 0 Right 0 Esc (enters three quarter notes as shown above)
4) click second measure to select
5) Shift+Right

Result: as shown above

However, it is indeed erratic. As mentioned above, it works correctly after save/reload. Also works correctly if I add more notes then delete them between steps 3 & 4.

However, here's an even stranger aspect. Start over (no need to create new score, but do select all & delete). Follow steps 2-3 above. After step 3, click in measure 8 (or anywhere further along) and enter a single note, then exit note entry mode. Now try steps 4-5 - select measure 2, shift+right. Now, the result is the selection appears to start with measure 3, and extends all the way to measure 8!

Definitely something wrong here.

I can reproduce it sometimes, but not all the time.

After looking into it a bit, part of the reason is that extending the range selection treats the current selection as a single selection of the last CR in the first measure. Not sure why this would be as we have a range selection covering the whole 2 measure before.
