Two Bugs with Instrument Changes
By "changing insturments" I mean the action of double-clicking on an instrument-name in your score (or using a shortcut of which i'm not aware), then clicking on the "change instrument"-button, then changing your instrument to something else. (for example "Violin" to "Cello")
-
Usually, when changing something in your score, an asterisk * will appear at the end of the name of your score in the tab/window heading. This indicates, that there are unsaved changes to your score.
When changing your instrument this * simply doesn't appear. The score simply doesn't indicate that there have been changes.
(Adding a new instrument triggers the * to pop up, as it should do. Changing instruments lacks this important feature.) -
Changing an instrument can't be undone by pressing [CTRL + Z]. Nothing happens.
(Again, ADDING a new instrument can be undone. It's just the changing of instruments that lacks this important feature.)

Huh.. confirmed and weird. I wasn't even aware you could open staff/part properties by double clicking the instrument name. But that seems to be the issue.
When opening the staff/part properties using the "normal" method (ie right-click in a staff and choose "Staff/Part properties") those changes are all correctly registered (and undoable and saveable).
So for some reason this is not happening correctly when opening the dialog using double click.

If I may ask, how do you create such a fancy link instead of it looking like this: https://musescore.org/en/node/xxxxxxx

You type in [#310906] and it'll show up as a fancy link.
The upside is that this also automatically makes the forum topic show up as linked item in the issue as well.

Interesting, I never even knew about the right-click method, always just double-clicked. xD
Also thank you for creating the bug!
(Also, in case you have time, I'd really appreciate someone confirming this: https://musescore.org/en/node/310881 before I create an issue. It's a really annoying bug.)

For the record, the double-click to open the dialog is a new feature, I think just added for 3.5.

It's a nice and intuitive-feeling addition, nice idea to introduce it! :)
