Description

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Bug description

Seems like if you move your mouse even slightly when selecting a note / notes, MuseScore sees that as you're trying to drag the passage vertically, and gets rid of the accidentals in preparation for that. However that is triggered before the notes actually moves vertically. The mouse movement is big enough to make MuseScore think the user is trying to drag, but not big enough to actually move the notes vertically. This results in accidentals disappearing when user is trying to select with mouse.

Steps to reproduce

Write a passage (or even a single note) with accidentals
Select it and move your mouse ever so slightly when selecting
