Description
Your idea
In MuseScore 3 adding an instrument/Part discarded the selection and could also force the previously selected area out of view. I was hoping this would have been addressed in MuseScore 4.
Problem to be solved
Prevent situations where MuseScore 4 needlessly abandons the user's selection. Don't disorient the user by moving their selection from view, and if that's impossible, at least retain the selection so they can more easily find their place again and resume working.
For the record, there are many other situations where MuseScore discards the users selection and I plan to add some to this thread. But there are none that waste my time as much as discarding the selection when adding an Instrument/Part.
