Triplets disappear when deleting bottom notes of a chord

I have a selection like this:

I have filtered the bottom notes, which I want to get rid of; but when I hit delete or cut, it cancels the triplets thus:

Is this a bug, or is there a way around it?
It seems like a bug, because it doesn’t happen consistently. It worked once when I selected an entire bar and not from the pick-ap note in this case, but it didn’t work again.

You have to deselect the actual tuplets.

Any action invoked acts on whatever is selected. If the triplet numbers and brackets are selected, they will be deleted when you press delete.

Got it. Thanks so much Jesele!

@Hakan_Ali_Toker I would give @jesele credit for the solution. His post was first, and answered your question. Mine simply added some explanatory detail which I thought that you, being a newcomer to Dorico, might find helpful.

Fixed. Thank you Steve! I thought the ‘solution’ button was specific to the entire post rather than the members. Now I understand, it must be a way to earn points by helping each other.

Yes – But also the Solution box makes that post appear right below the top post, so new readers can get to it faster. (Not much difference when it was the 2nd post.)
