Hi guys,

Reported version:
OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.5.0.11614, revision: 1ee2fe3

The positioning of pedal symbols by using by keyboard arrows does not work anymore

1) add a pedal symbol
2) select the final symbol (e.g. attachment)
3) press and hold "Ctrl" (control key)
4) use navigation arrows to move the symbol

Positioning of items should respect direction of the pressed arrow, but in new release, items move randomly.

Thank you all for all the work you do.

I'm using OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.4.2.9788, revision: 148e43f
In my version, when I click left, it goes to the left, right it goes to the right and so on.
Do you have reproduced the bug in 3.5.0 ?

Some details regarding the behavior in previous versions.
Once the specific anchor is selected :
- Arrow Left (or Right) => moves the item by 1 unit (maybe 1 px ?)
- Ctrl+AL => moves the item by N unit (maybe 5 px ?)
- Ctrl+SHIFT = moves the item to the next note, or rest, in the staff.
Hope this will help.
