M4.4.ALL Infinite Note Entry MS Classic Sounds
I am on Ubuntu Studio 24.04.
All of the MuseScore 4.4 builds to date have a bug on my system where entering notes or playing back with an MS Classic Sound results in an infinite loop of entry.
Example: If I start a new score with an MS Classic Sound or if I switch to an MS Classic Sound in the mixer, when I enter a whole note, MuseScore will enter whole notes in succession thereafter without the ability to stop the loop. This is completely consistent on my system and there are no times when it doesn't act in this way.
I also notice that notes with MS Classic sounds will play indefinitely upon playback without the ability to stop.
MuseScore 3.X builds do not have this behavior and the Jack Transport PR that has been built on 4.4 and 4.5 does not exhibit this behavior on my system either.

By "MS Classic" do you mean MS Basic?
In reply to By 'MS Classic' do you mean… by shoogle
Yes. I ended up reinstalling my whole system, as I found this behavior wasn't presenting on another machine. The problem went away, but there was still some sort of (what I assume to be) a midi loop that was replicating not entry and playback only for the Basic sound set... and only in 4.4.x builds. Perhaps there were midi level changes that didn't agree with a backend flaw on my system?
When you go to Preferences > Audio & MIDI, you can select a different MIDI output and/or input device; that should break the loop.
