Description with steps to reproduce
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a new default score (Home, Scores, New score, Create from template, Done).
- Go to Format > Style... > Header & footer.
- Enable "Show on first page", and disable "Different odd/even pages".
- Enter $m in one of the header fields, and click OK.
- With the trackpad (or scroll wheel, etc.), scroll/pan around the score a few times, but don't enter any notes or otherwise modify the score.
Observed behavior:
The seconds in the header time update to the current time each time the user stops scrolling.
Expected behavior:
The "Last modification time" should not change unless the file has actually been modified.
