Description
Issue type
UI bug (incorrect info or interface appearance)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Enter a note, add a marcato and a staccato to it
- Deselect the note
- Select the note again
- Press N to enter note input mode
- Hover above the stave and drag the mouse down, and see that the hovered preview of the marcato leaves a trail of its pointy end
Note that this only happens when you enter note input mode while a note that already has a marcato & staccato is selected. If you enter note input mode, then turn marcato & scaccato on, the issue is not present.
