I think this belongs here.

The title says it.

It would be useful for a bar to remain the focus so one can add more than one bar without re-selecting the area.

Title MS loses focus when (insert) adding bars to multibar rest. ⇒ Selection lost when inserting bars with multimeasure rests enable

Hmm, it's worse than that, it seems. It doesn't even work correctly if the measure being inserted if *not* in a multimeasure rest - as long as the rests are enabled, the selection is lost regardless of where the measure is inserted:

1) my first score
2) fill first three measures with notes
3) press "M" to enable mmrests
4) select second measure
5) press "Ins"

Result: measure is inserted but selection is lost. If you skip step "M", the selection is preserved.

Anyhow, this suggests one workaround for now - press "M" to disable the multimeasure rests, insert the measures, then press "M" again to re-enable the rests. Also, in case you didn't know, you can add multiple bars at once with Ctrl+ins (Add / Measures / Insert Measures)
