Can't drag anything from the "More" dropdown in the palette

• Jun 23, 2022 - 11:41

I click on "more", click and hold on anything in there, it turns blue like it is selected, but the popup closes right away. And there is nothing being dragged.

The lack of a SHA after the "github-musescore-musescore-" stongly indicates that this is not an official build, not the APpImage from the download page of this website here, and as such not supported here.
This may or may not be relevant in the issue at hand.

The palette doesn't require dragging, a simple click should be sufficient to apply any palette item to whatever you have selected in your score.

The black dialog is generally a sign there is an missing library in your installation or your device doesn't support OpenGL properly.

If clicking the elements in the More palette doesn't work either, that's something to report to whomever built the version of MuseScore you are trying to run. Unfortunately we can't really help with third-party builds - there are all sorts of things they could have gotten wrong that would lead to hard-to-diagnose problems.

So, let's focus on getting the support version - the AppImage - to work. As I mentioned, a black screen generally means a misconfiguration of some kind in your graphics system. First step is update your graphics drivers. If you continue to have issues, try using the environment variable QT_OPENGL to either "angle" or "software" to see if that works around the lack of native OpenGL support in your driver.

I just completely reinstalled my system. 1 out of 5 times dragging items from the "More" Dialog doesn't work. Clicking on entries from the "More" Dialog still doesn't do anything.

The about dialog is showing now. Revision: OS: Manjaro Linux, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.6.2.548021370, revision: 3224f34

To be clear: you are talking about the supported AppImage, and when you say clicking the elements from the More section doesn't do anything, you mean, after first selecting something in the score that the element in question can legitimately be added to?

If so, please attached you score and give precise steps to reproduce the problem (eg, tell us what your selecting in the score, and which palette element you are trying to click).

yes

yes

I just start with the default page. No special score was used.

> tell us what your selecting in the score

The treble clef symbol

> and which palette element you are trying to click

Any other clef symbol from the "more" popup

Hmm, that definitely should work and does for me. What exactly happens for you? Does the panel close when you click but the clef isn't changed, or does the panel stay open? Could be an issue with your mouse driver or OS settings involved in how focus is managed.

Meanwhile, the workaround be to use View / Master Palette.
