Moving notes diatonically gets stuck when a previous note in the bar has an accidental

• Jun 8, 2025 - 06:02

Alt+Shift+Down is supposed to move a note down the diatonic scale, but it stalls when trying to move it lower than a previous note in the same bar with a sharp accidental. In the example here, if you select the C and use the shortcut, it will move down to B as expected, but then it will move to B♭, enharmonic to the previous A♯, and then it will continue to stay at the same pitch, probably because it is still on the B line, but the A space represents the same pitch since the accidental hasn't been cancelled.
The same thing happens in the bar that has a D♯ and an F, if the F is moved down with the same shortcut; it goes to E, then E♭, and then stays at E♭ when the shortcut is used again.

So it happens in both directions when there are already two different accidentals on the same pitch, but when there's just one, it only happens downwards? That seems like something that may have been missed, judging from that description of the bug. Hopefully it gets fixed for both situations.
