Go into staff properties. Set "extra distance above staff" to an appreciable amount that will affect score. Press "apply" and check that it has changed the score (without closing the window). Now press "Cancel". You return to the score but the operation has not been cancelled!

I suppose this probably applies to all operations in the staff properties window?

"Cancel" does not revert settings already applied. Apparently some GUI guidelines (eg, for Mac) suggest that this be true, but others have traditionally said Cancel should only back out changes *not* already applied. We could certainly consider moving to the Mac-style definition as a feature some day, but for now, it works as intended.
