Description
Issue type
UI bug (incorrect info or interface appearance)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Click a multimeasure rest
- Press "M" or click toolbar icon to enable input by duration mode
Result: it appears that it did not work - there is no immediately visual feedback that you are in note input mode. But if you move your mouse over the measure, you do see the ghost note, and if press a duration key you get a note, so it seems to be just a UI glitch.
