Appending measures results in 2/4 duration instead of 4/4

Hi there!

By a way of introduction, my name is Etienne Snyman, a part-time musician who is attempting to go full-time. I use MuseScore v0.9.4 on Ubuntu Karmic (9.10).

However, I am struggling with the "Append Measure" function. My composition in in 4/4 time, and half-way through I have a bar of 2/4, and then it changes back to 4/4 in the next bar. However, ever since I added that 2/4 bar, and I attempt to append or even insert any number of measures anywhere in the composition, the actual measure duration is set at 2/4, while the nominal remains at 4/4.

That means that for every bar that I must append, I first have to edit the measure properties before I can continue to use the measure.

Is there any way that I can set it so that all measures appended are both nominally and actually 4/4? Or is it a bug in version 0.9.4? (0.9.4. is the version in the Ubuntu repositories)

Thank you in advance!

Etienne
