In which versions of MuseScore Studio is this issue present?
4.6.5 – main latest nightly
Regression
Yes, this used to work in a previous version of MuseScore 4.x
Operating system
Windows, macOS
Additional context
Reported and discussed in https://musescore.org/en/node/394552
As the screen capture shows, excluding an earlier measure from the measure count does not make the styling revert back to default, even though the actual number updates. Changing the time signature or the measure number frequency in Format > Style does make it revert.
The latest version this worked in was 4.5.2
