Is this bug well known or reproducible on other systems?
it's not a bug, has worked this way for many versions
Not only does this happen in 2007-08 but also 2005-06 and probably
before. It has worked this way for as long as I remember, and yes,
it is a mighty pain in pre-2008 versions.
toggle "show active layer only" using a macro key programmed by you,
drag-assign, toggle
However, in 2008 (I haven't checked 2007) the articulations in the
suppled default files are much smarter, as there is a new setting to
flip them to the correct side when they are applied to layers.
If you are in a jazz or commercial style where you want most
articulations above the note instead of opposite the stem, then the
new feature won't do it properly and you have to go back to flipping
them by hand.
check the settings of the articulations, you can select the behaviour
you want in the Position menu
