Description
Describe the bug
Its pretty straight forward to select a measure. However, when you try to select another measure, the range selection turns to list selection
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open a score
- Click on a measure
- Ctrl + Click on another measure
- The range selection on the first measure turns to a list selection
Expected behavior
Both measures should be selected

Research direction
Start by reproducing the selection steps in MuseScore on Ubuntu 22.04: select one measure, then Ctrl+Click another non-adjacent measure. Trace the measure-selection handling and verify that both measures remain selected rather than converting the first range selection into a list selection.
