1) Load this test file (3 measures: two whole notes + whole rest, standard notation): new test.mscz

2) Double-click LH fingering -> Hit Space bar, or Alt + Right arrow

Result: the program seems to be stuck by the empty measure 3, and ends up crashing

Indeed, with the same test file before this fix, navigation, in such cases, returned immediately at the beginning of the score.

New file, with a quarter rest: new test quarter rest.mscz

EDIT: but with this one, navigation on the first quarter rest works, but not before the first empty measure (6). No sure exactly of the conditions of this issue right now: rests.mscz

As far as I can tell, it's definitely about the change to wrapping, not the fix for the 4th voice issue (edit: our post crossed, thanks for the confirmation). And it has nothing to do with rests, I can make the same happen any time I hit "Space" after the last note of a score. Also, I can also get a related hang in 3.2.3 if I have a score with only a single note, which was fixed at some point (#283316: Hang on pressing space after entering fingering on only note of score) but apparently came back.

Anyhow, I should have a fix soon.

As stated in the PR, "The issue is a crash or hang on navigation while in text edit mode (aka "fingering mode") after the last note of a score. Results differ according to whether you actually enter text onto that note or not, whether it was a fingering or a different type of text (segment attached), and for fingering, whether you press Space or Alt+Right to navigate. All of these presented slightly different different aspects of the problem and needed to be dealt with slightly differently." Also, I should mention, some but not all of these were also a problem in 3.2.3, also depending on whether there was only one note in the score. But I believe I fixed all the cases.

_fix #295107: hang or crash on fingering mode after last note

There turned out to be several aspects to this.
In 3.2.3, we could get a hang if there was literally only one note,
as the navigation would loop back around and we didn't always catch it.
For 3.3 I eliminated the looping back around on navigation,
but neglected to add a check for start/end of score in "fingering mode".
This adds that check (in ScoreView::textTab(), the test for el2 == el).
But further testing revealed further checks we need to make to be safe.
The checks that the current element is actually a child of the note
in Note::nextInEl() and Note::prevInEl() prevents a crash
if one navigates before the fingering has been added to its parent
or after it has been removed (which happens with empty fingering elements).
For consistency with how chord symbols work, and to circumvent other future problems,
I elected to have Space exit "fingering mode" after reaching the end of the score.
This required making a reasonable selection (the "exit cleanly" code in textTab)
but also calling mscore->endCmd() and returning immediately in events.cpp in that case.
This had the side benefit of allowing me to remove the updateInspector() call
in textTab(), as it is covered by the endCmd() call.
I should note there are other code paths in, for example, the harmony tab functions,
that can leave an empty / deleted element still selected
when hitting space upon reaching the last note of a score.
But I could cause an actual problem to occur and chose to not deal with that here.

Script test added to cover the basic issue here._
