Staff Text Re-anchoring issue
Hey there, I'm having an issue when trying to move text around. It seems to re-anchor at the slightest shift, even several staves up. It will then refuse to re-anchor to the staff it was originally on. I just have to Command+Z and leave it. I saw something that said "Alt" will allow you to move it without re-anchoring, but tried Control, Option, and Command on my Mac and nothing. Any way to fix this? Thank you!

If still using 4.5.1: known issue, fixed in 4.5.2

Nice, saw the update was going to do it later. Thank you!

Apparently some people felt the need for automatic Staff Text re-anchoring. It works better now laterally in 5.2 without excessive affect, though I'm a little surprised that it anchors both fore and aft each notehead. And I still don't like the way it jumps staves.
But, we really needed this? What significant use cases did it address? I was unable to find the Github request. Does anyone know its whereabouts?
Took me a while to find the antidote:
• On MacOS, Command Drag provides the previous behavior—where the Staff Text is repositioned around a fixed anchor point.
• So it's likely the Windows antidote is Control Drag.
