Description

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Description with steps to reproduce

Open the MuseScore file attached
Select the full bar 8 of the clarinet (by clicking)
Press ArrowDown, the selection expands to include the alto sax.
Press ArrowDown again, the selection does not extend to the tenor sax.

Select the full bar 12 of the clarinet
Press ArrowDown twice, the selection now spans all of the instruments, as expected.
