Swap With Clipboard does not remember what was on clipboard and causes issues with selecting multiple items
I downloaded Musescore 4 yesterday and I have been experiencing a bug with the "Copy to Clipboard" command. I have been using the Right-Click rather than the shortcuts in order to preform these steps:
This is how I have been able to reproduce the bug:
1. Select a measure and copy it
2. Select a different measure and hit "Swap with Clipboard". The thing I copied gets pasted in that measure correctly.
3. I paste the clipboard into a measure (this is the step that breaks Musescore)
When I try to paste what I have copied from the clipboard into a measure, MuseScore does not paste anything. Also if there were notes in the measure I was trying to paste to, the notes remain there and are not removed.
Furthermore, after trying to paste after using the "Swap with Clipboard" command I am then unable to select measures. No matter how I click on the measure, the measure will not be highlighted in blue. I can still select individual notes however I am unable to select anything more than a single item. Even when I select a note and Shift and Hold Right arrow the selection does not expand.

I didn't see it on GitHub. But thanks for letting me know. I will be more careful in the future when posting a report to make sure it doesn't exist.

Thanks. I went to https://musescore.org/en/download/musescore.msi and downloaded for Windows. It doesn't seem to have fixed the problem for me. Can you give me advice on how to get this fix in my version of Musescore 4? Thanks!
