Interesting.  I got the distinct impression that the problem was far easier
to create on my system (Power Mac 6100/66 with Mac OS 8.0) than it is on
most others. For me it requires very few steps, and can be done from any of
Coda's templates straight off the CD.

I tested it again just now on their template called "Piano Grand Staff".
Here it is:

--> In Speedy mode, enter any note in any measure but the first, then type
the left arrow twice.

The bug has now been invoked. If I now enter a note it will be displaced.

Does this reproduce the bug for everyone, or just for me?  If it does for
everyone, then I'd say this is a pretty significant flaw, not just some
obscure rare occurrence.

There's lots of ways for the bug to come up.  The key ingredient is
starting from the first slot of a measure and using a keystroke to move to
a new measure from there.  That will almost always do it.

I can understand your "which order you enter things" since the order of
your Speedy entry will dictate how often you'll be leaving a measure from
the first slot.  I don't understand "what's in the file".  In my
experience, the pattern is identical in any file, and I've tested it on
several of Coda's templates.
