Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Add a frame (and deselect it)
- Click and drag on any blank area within the frame
- See that the frame resizes
If you first select the frame and then drag within the blank space, the frame does not resize—you can only resize using the drag handle at the bottom (which is expected)
This is particularly problematic when you've made frames invisible, because you'd assume that you're clicking on a blank spot do move the score around but you get this undesired interaction.
This also holds for formatting objects like staff spacer when hidden.
