When using smart pen / touch screen input, on Windows 11, some on-screen function buttons become unable to be used through any input method. about 1 year 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.
