- Open any score with different kinds of text objects in it.
- Go into text edit mode on any text object and select all by pressing [Ctrl] then [A].
Expected result: The text block is immediately highlighted.
Actual result: The text is not highlighted until you release the [Ctrl] key.
The standard behaviour in Word processors and on the Internet is that the whole text block should highlight immediately, and before releasing the [Ctrl] key. This was the case in MS2.

3.5.0
Comments
As a result, a simple select all/copy/select all/paste procedure now requires 2 extra key presses (compared to MS 2.3.2).
