Description

Issue type

UI bug

Bug description

If you select a continuous range of elements, then open the selection dialog (right-click then choose Select > More > "Same subtype"), the "In selection" option remains unchecked (a bug). If you now check this option yourself, which is likely, the selection may fail.

Recommendation

  • Make sure that "In selection" is automatically checked when a range has been selected.
  • Recheck the example below to make sure it works correctly.
Steps to reproduce
  1. Open attached file.
    selection.zip
  2. Click on the first fingering in measure 1, then Shift click on the last fingering in the same measure. This will highlight 3 different types of fingerings.
  3. Now right-click on one of the selected RH guitar fingerings and select Select > More, then make sure "Same subtype" and "In selection" are checked. Then OK

ACTUAL RESULT: All of the fingerings in the selection are selected.

EXPECTED RESULT: Only the RH guitar fingerings in the selection should be selected.

The workaround seems to be to leave the "In selection" box unchecked.
