Dialog box UI inconsistancies.

• Oct 21, 2023 - 01:53

Musescore 4.1.1 on Kubuntu linux 23.04

Key bindings for [Cancel] and [OK] are not consistently applied in dialog boxes. E.g. The bar properties box uses "Esc" and " "Enter" keys respectively but the various insert bar boxes use neither.

Bug or feature?

It's not the key binding which is inconsistent, the behaviour is affected by whether the cursor is positioned in a data entry field or on the OK button.

In the case of Add > Bars > Insert before/after...>, the cursor is sensibly positioned in the data entry field "Number of bars to insert". After changing (or not changing) the default value of 1, you have to tab to the OK button. Then the Enter key will confirm the same action as if you had clicked OK.
