1. Open attached score (produced in 1.3).
2. Right-click stave.
3. 'Drumroll Editor…'.
4. Close it.
5. Click on bar with notes.

Result: It can't be selected, whilst notes only highlight for as long as the click is held.

Note: It is also reproducible in a 2.0 score.

I started to investigate this a little while ago. Apparently the issue is that the drumroll editor still thinks it is open, and it keeps stealing the selection.

The fix does fix the behavior but I must say I don't see the added value of the drumroll editor (or the pianoroll editor) currently. Shouldn't we hide it for 2.0 ?

Well, FWIW, I just got a crahs in the piano roll editor, trying to click on something. I didn't know what I was doing and don't currently know how to reproduce, but the crash was in ScoreAccessibility::currentInfoChanged, and I had recently pressed the "Play" button. I don't have a clear idea of capabilities these windows are supposed to have, but it wouldn't break my heart to see them disabled. Except what I think I know is that this is now the only way to access the ontime & offtime/length for notes. I know people weren't happy that it left Note Properties where it could be applied to multiple notes at once. Somehow, I don't think removing it entirely is going to be popular.
