Comments
I was able to reproduce this.
It appears to be a paint invalidation bug. The chords are actually selected; you just can't see that they are. If, after step 7, you do something that forces a repaint (such as dragging the score with the mouse), you'll see that the chords are all selected.
Even if you don't force a repaint, if you perform an action on the selection immediately after step 7, it will work. For example, if you press the
Deletekey, the chords all get deleted, even if they didn't appear to be selected.On some keyboards, this shortcut is saved as Ctrl + Alt + Æ. So it doesn't work on me. (also Ctrl+Alt+S is saved as Ctrl+Alt+ß)
But when I try it with Ctrl + Alt + D, it seems like there is an layout update problem. After making the selection, the selection appears when I hold the page with the left mouse button and slide it a little.
I can confirm the update problem. When the selection is a note, the selection is indeed shown; with chord symbols you have to make the view refresh, e.g., by scrolling.
BTW, the actual version is 3.4.1.25011, not 3.3
