Midi input changes in latest svn (2553)?

I compiled musescore rev 2553 and found that the midi input doesn't work the same way as 0.9.5. I also have this same issue in prerelease builds from early december. I can no longer play the notes on the keyboard and have them added to the score with the selected time value. Instead it seems like I have to play the note, then click the time value? Is this change deliberate? If not, maybe I can fix it if someone can tell me what classes/files handle this functionality? It seems like this is a pretty important feature, is there something trivial I'm missing?
