Ubuntu 14.04, GIT commit: 949eefc

See http://musescore.org/en/node/39366 for more discussion

1) new score for piano & drumset
2) empty measure, note entry
3) click a drum icon
4) try to change voices

Result: nothing happens if you use shortcut; the palette closes if you use the buttons on the toolbar - and then typing "A" actually enters a note onto the piano staff.

If on the other hand you enter a note onto the drum staff before trying to change voices, the voice selector works normally - until you select a different drum icon on the palette.

Title Unable to change voice selector in drum entry mode after selecting an icon in drum palette ⇒ Unable to use note input shortcuts in drum entry mode after selecting an icon in drum palette

I just realized, it's not just the voice selector shortcuts that don't work after selecting a drum note - the same applies for the duration shortcuts, the cursor keys, etc. I think this is probably related to the accessibility changes made over the summer, in which some of the shortcut contexts were changed.

The problem with the voice selector *buttons* moving the cursor to the top staff is unrelated to the issue with the shortcuts; it's actually more related to #39456: Double clicking icon on drum palette enters note at wrong location / voice, undo moves cursor to wrong staff.
