Hotkeys for "move pitch down/up" and "select previous/next chord" throw you to the beginning of the score

• Oct 14, 2024 - 16:10

I am using the newest version of Musescore. Whenever I press the hotkeys for moving selection down/up or selecting previous/next chord (which are by default the arrow keys), I am always moved to the beginning of the score when nothing is selected. Sometimes this might happen even if something is selected.

Often even when I have selected something and use the hotkeys, due to a misclick, lag or something there is no selection after all and boom, back to the start you go and navigation begins again.

The behaviour is incredibly frustrating and forces you to constantly navigate your way to where you were before being magically teleported to the beginning. Too much of my time with Musescore is being consumed by magical teleports and having to navigate to the original position.

The bug (or feature?) persists if the hotkey is changed, so I am betting that this is due to the part of the code that defines what happens when these particular hotkeys are used.

If this is a feature, it is an utter nuisance and perfectly redundant as there already is a hotkey for going to the beginning of the score.
