Range select -> "Notes" button in Inspector includes grace notes in list selection, disabling Inspector
See https://musescore.org/en/node/85151. Grace notes are not the same as other notes, and if two different types of elements are selected the Inspector can't be used.

This can't be difficult to fix, can it?
How do you think it should be fixed?
Should there be another option to select "grace notes" next to "notes" in inspector?
And then pressing "notes" only selects non-"grace notes"?
First priority is to make sure that the "Notes" button does not include grace notes. But adding another button in the middle to select grace notes seems like a fine idea, too.
I think I can handle this, then.
Thanks!

Failure is possibly unrelated.
I tested it, it work nicely but it kills the ability to select all the notes *including* grace notes from a selection. Currently we can select all notes including gracenotes with the inspector and we can select only notes or only grace notes with right click > select similar element in selection.
Do we really want this?
The whole point is to remove the ability to select all notes including grace notes, because there's nothing you can do if both are selected—the Inspector gets into a situation where it can tell there is a mixed selection, so it offers you a button to select only the notes in the selection; clicking that button selects both notes and grace notes in a mixed selection, so the Inspector offers you a button to select only the notes in the selection; and so on.
We do really want this.
With the change, the user can still use the range select to select all notes including grace notes.

I unexpectedly hit this bug in 2.1. Looks like the fix needs to be cherry-picked or backported.
Cherry pick won't work, I'm afraid, backporting shouldn't be to difficult though
