SEVERE BUG - can't click on most invisible items
I've written several notes and pieces of expression text that are useless to the jazz musicians I'm going to give the score, but are useful to me in order to hear something close to what they might play.
Now, those elements are unclickable. And for the notes and rest, that's okay, I can just select the measure then press V. But for text, like the Swing indicator, now it's stuck there and I can't make any changes.
Should I try to export to MusicXML and open in MS3.6?

More precisely, I seems the reliable way to trigger the bug is to try to right click a highlighted invisible item. That will instantly deselect it and make it impossible to click again.

Please post a score. I can't make any of this happen in a score I create.

No problem on my system so it might be specific to your OS, your computer setup. I do have a 27" monitor but even when I shrink the score down to 50% I can left- or right-click on all the invisible elements.

Not a matter of size, first thing I tried was zooming in until the "ink" in the text was much larger than my mouse pointer. And, as I said, making it visible makes it clickable again.

I found the workaround of clicking the next visible item of the same type (or placing a new one), and navigating with alt+arrows, then making the invisible element visible again. That makes rightclick work again. The visibility is definitely the discriminating factor
