"Staff properties" does not update properly when you change the Instrument to a plucked-string type that supports tablature.

1. Open, say, "my first score" (or create a treble staff with piano as the instrument)
2. Right click on the staff and select Staff properties > Change Instrument. Chose "Classical Guitar". Click "OK."

The "staff properties" window has not updated properly: This becomes apparent after the next step …

3. Click "OK" to close the "staff properties" window, then open it again.

Now "Staff properties" has updated and "number of strings" and "Edit string data" has appeared. Also , in "Advanced style properties" the "Template" menu now shows the full range of staves available.

Expected result: After the "Change instrument" box has been closed the additional features for Classical guitar should be on display without having to close and reopen the "Staff properties" window.

Updated report:

1. Open, "my first score."
2. Right click on the staff and select Staff properties > Change Instrument. Chose "Classical Guitar". Then click "OK" to return to "Staff properties."

Expected result: The bottom of the Staff properties window should update to look like this:

Actual result: The "Number of strings" field and "Edit string data" button fail to appear:

You have to click "OK" to exit "Staff properties" then re-open the "staff properties" window to refresh the view.
