I'm afraid I cannot reproduce using either 3.0.2 or my own build from master today. Can you please attach a score and give very precise steps to reproduce the problem? Like, tell me which fingering to move, which cursor key to use to adjust the position, how many "clicks" to move it, etc. I tried everything I could think of and could not get it to fail.

Now, that's weird, I tried again with the Tester file and now I can see a problem. I think maybe it's only on beamed notes? Anyhow, I can reproduce, will investigate.

How about this: Left & Right work fine, so does Ctrl+Up/Down, but Up & Down by themselves don't work (unless you also use one of the others)!

Also, it's not just fingering, but any text.

The other clue to a problem is that the Reset button in the Inspector doesn't activate.

Steps were simply:
1) Default score: Enter a quarter note top staff (so, no necessary beamed notes)
2) Double-click on "m" (RH fingering)
3) Immediatly: press arrow Up two seconds in a continuous way, so the "m" is closer the title frame
4) Save/Close
5) Reload: "m" reverted to its initial position

EDIT: and indeed, same behaviour after entering regular text (note -> Ctrl + T -> "m" -> Escape -> select "m" -> press Up arrow in a continuous way, etc. )

Yes, in case our posts crossed, I was able to ascertain that Up and Down do not work, but the other cursor commands (Ctrl+Up, Ctrl+Down, Left, Right, Ctrl+Left, Ctrl+Right) do. My PR fixes that, thanks for the followup!
