Hi Noel,
The bug does not occur only when a tuplet begins with a rest, although the effect is more extreme when it does. In a quarter note triplet (no rests), for example, if you drag one of the quarters up or down far enough, the number and the bracket separate; the farther you drag, the greater the separation. The bug also rears its little ugly head if you make one of the notes a chord by double-clicking. And, the bug is not fooled at all by changing the duration of the rest. I have found no way around this, other than to avoid having to edit in the first place. Since using a QWERTY keyboard for entry demands "editing" in order to create chords, if you don't use a midi keyboard for entry, you must turn "Enhanced tuplets" off, and face dragging numbers vertically to make them look right.

With respect to the former, IMO,. if the bug only occurs when the tuplet begins with a rest, then it fails to rise to my own definition of "serious" or "basic". To me, a serious bug is one which causes the computer to hang up, and lose all data, or fail to start at all. A bug which affects only the instance when the tuplet begins with an eighth rest merely rises to the level of "irritating", or "annoying", and should not inhibit the shipment process.
BTW, what happens if, instead of an eighth note rest, one creates the tuplet with two sixteenth note rests at the beginning, and goes back and deletes one of the sixteenth notes, and changes the remaining one to an eighth?
