Description
Describe the bug
Pressing Shift while selecting alters the language of a multiple-language IME.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Use an IME that has multiple languages.
- Do a shift-selecting.
- See that the IME language is switched
Expected behavior
The IME language should not be switched
Platform information
- OS: Windows 11
Additional context
The reason this issue needs fixing is that switching the language could interrupt normal workflow, such as when pressing "C" under Chinese mode, the character is buffered into the IME (so that it is read as a part of the pinyin and results in a list of selectable Chinese characters) instead of being accepted by MuseScore.
