Bug description
To copy an element from the score to a palette you need to press Ctrl+Shift, then drag the element into a cell. However this is proving very hit and miss and the problem seems to be in the Ctrl+Shift selection step.
In some scores certain text lines cannot be selected at all; same problem with glissando lines.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the attached score.
element_to_palette.zip - Press Ctrl+Shift and try to drag any text element from the first system (say) to an empty cell in a palette.
RESULT: Selection is barred with the white "Not allowed" symbol. This was also the case in MS3 with purely text elements. - Now do the same for the line in measure 10. The critical part is the Ctrl+Shift selection step.
RESULT: Whether selection is succesful or not depends on what part of the line you click. - You may also find it useful to drag other elements, such as hairpins etc., to a palette to see if there are any problems there as well.
MuseScore Version

Regression
Text could not be copied to the palette in MS3. AFAIR, text-lines could.
