Add Tooltip to Home/Scores tab to read full score titles and file path 24 days ago

AI Summary: The user requests adding tooltips to the recent scores list displayed in the Home/Scores tab. These tooltips should appear on hover and display both the full score title (when truncated) and its complete file path. This feature aims to help users distinguish between different versions of pieces with long names or identical names located in various directories.

When using smart pen / touch screen input, on Windows 11, some on-screen function buttons become unable to be used through any input method. 7 months ago

AI Summary: When using a smart pen or touch screen on Windows 11, specific on-screen function buttons in MuseScore (e.g., Play/Pause, toolbar controls) become unresponsive and visually stuck in a 'greyed out' or hovered state. These buttons cannot be used via any input method until the user toggles the toolbar's visibility off and then on again through the 'View' tab.
