Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Description with steps to reproduce
Sometimes, almost all menu items in the File menu get disabled, as if no score is open, while there is actually a score open. Among others items, the "Save" items are not available in this situation.
Unfortunately, I don't know (yet) how to reproduce this, but a friend of mine experienced this a while ago and today I saw it myself too, but on a computer with no debugger etc. installed, so I couldn't do much investigation.
