What does "reduces to panel" mean? Is that the same as "minimizing"? That shouldn't be possible; it's a modal dialog. But somehow, pressing Apply makes it disappear in some way?
Yes I did indeed mean "minimizing", but couldn't come up with the right word!
In fact, now that I try it again, it seems that what happens is the dialogue window disappears behind the main MuseScore window, and I then get it back by clicking on it in the panel. Then I click on OK and everything's back to normal. It's not a huge problem, but the first time it happened I thought MuseScore had crashed and spent ages working out what had happened before I realised it was there all along.
No idea! I've just been trying to find this everywhere. I'm on Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca and haven't changed the windows manager since I installed this a few weeks ago, so I suppose it's whatever the default is.
According to http://linuxmint.com/rel_rebecca_mate_whatsnew.php, the default is something called "Marco", with a new one called "Compiz" provided as an alternative. I'm not familiar with either. Could be some sort of misunderstanding between Qt (the libraries we reply on for GUI and other things) and Marco. I wonder if anyone else is using this?
Marc, I got to the same page as you but for some reason on my installation there's no ->Desktop Settings->Windows, so I can't try out Compiz to see if it makes any difference.
Anyway, it's only one minor glitch which I thought I ought to bring to the attention of MuseScore's developers, not a huge problem.
And thanks for the great work; I've been using Finale on Windows for years and had put off moving over to Linux (too many viruses on Windows) uniquely because Finale wasn't available on Linux. I still have Windows on a partition, but frankly, having discovered the potential of MuseScore, particularly version 2.0, I hardly ever bother booting up with Windows and using Finale any more. I was highly sceptical that any software, free or otherwise, could even approach Finale, but you're definitely getting there - well done!

Which version of MuseScore, what OS?
And please don't assign to yourself, unless you plan to fix yourself too.
Yeah I probably do need fixing, come to think of it.
MuseScore 2.0 on Linux (Mint 17.1)

What window manager are you using? I don't see any problems using xfce on Ubuntu.
I guess you're fixed??
