Duplication "Position" settings for Expression text; one non-functional #32046

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Description with steps to reproduce

  1. Add an expression text to a score
  2. View Properties panel
  3. Expand "Show more"
  4. Notice there are two different groups of Position settings: one toward the top under "Expression", and the other twoard the bottom under "Text"
  5. In the Position group toward the bottom, click "Above" to flip text above the staff

Result: clicking the button has no effect. Only the group under "Expression" actually works (and it provides an "auto" setting).

Probably the group under Text should be grayed out (assuming it can't be removed entirely).

In which versions of MuseScore Studio is this issue present?

4.6.5, current nightly

Regression

Yes, this used to work in a previous version of MuseScore 4.x

Operating system

Debian 12

Additional context

I'm assuming this broke when the automatic positioning of expression text and dynamics was added. Works in 4.3.2, not in 4.4.4.
