Special characters and newlines are not pasted correctly in edit mode
On Xubuntu 14.10 (MuseScore commit 2a67602), open a score and add any text, for example staff text. Add a special character (F2) in the staff text, for example unicodeNoteQuarterUp. Add also a newline. We have (images come from another report I've submitted):
Do Ctrl+A to select all, do Ctrl+C to copy, go to the end of the text and do Ctrl+V to paste. Don't exit the edit mode.
Result: the special character and the newline that were pasted are not displayed correctly:
Now, exit the edit mode.
Result: the pasted newline is displayed correctly, but not the pasted special character:
Comments
The weirdness with selecting special characters from F2 has been around a while. But the fact that once selected and copied, they paste incorrectly - I think that is relatively new. It's possible it relates to https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/commit/bc506ed85bf10a719cf186dc8… or another similar commit involving Unicode.
The issue with special characters seems to have been fixed - at least, the case I tried worked. Newlines still don't copy properly at first, but correct themselves upon exiting text edit mode.
