Bug report: Zero margins and staff spacing

Don’t think this has been mentioned before and I can reliably recreate this bug:

I have set the left and right page margins to zero on a layout so that I can achieve some full width graphics on the title page, and adjusted the frame margins in the master pages to compensate as discussed numerous times on this forum. That’s all working fine BUT now in engrave mode staff spacing I am unable to click the boxes between staves for manual mm input. Dragging/Alt+arrowing the handles still works, and problem goes away if I put the layout page margins back to default.

I can reproduce this. As a workaround, you may want to try temporarily increasing the page width and add some margins by the same amount so that the music frame stays the same. Make your edits then set them back.

Ooh, good thinking, thank you!
