UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Create a score for snare drum
Double click a measure to enter note-input mode
Notes are only entered by mouse clicks if mouse is directly over staff and shadow notes appear
Press "A" to enter the regular notes
Now when clicking outside the actual staff notes are entered despite no shadow note appearing
