Very difficult to select text frame with a full line of text
3.0.1, Windows 10
1) load attach score
2) try to select the text frame (the frame itself, not the text - so you can adjust the gap, for instance)
Result: it's hard :-). The bbox for the text overlaps that of the frame, and the Z-order is on top, so the only wa I can get it to work reliably is to delete some text.
This remains true, btw, if only one line of a multi-line text extend to the frame border, because the bbox still overlaps. But if all lines end short of the right edge of the frame, clicking the right edge works.
This, BTW, is not a regression against 2.x as far as I can tell. At best it is marginally easier (and if so, what a pun that would be...) to catch a sliver of frame between the right edge of the text and frame in some cases, but that could be my imagination.
Comments
You can select the text and shift it a bit to expose some frame (put it back later) but that's crazy.
It is a workaround though

Since version 2.something I've had to click on the side of the frame when the text spilled down below the bottom of the frame.

It is the "poster child" of workarounds. It needs a UI gesture; it is related to the problem of selecting coincident notes, so alt-arrow(s) suggests itself.
At one time I implemented a tweak where Ctrl+click, instead of merely toggling selection status for an element, actually cycled through overlapping elements. Code needs to be rebased / updated (which should not be difficult) but I think it should still work. See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/2622
It should also be the case that the ALt+Left/Right navigation command should be traversing frames and their comments, but currently they do not.
Now that the Ctrl+click to cycle through overlapping elements fix is in, this is much less of a concern than it would be otherwise. Assuming, of course, users discover this.
