Tried, and it works nicely here. I must say that I've never used the step 
recording before, so I am not in a position to give an opinion about the old 
behavior compared with this one.

As Michael said, it seems that the "chord overlapping notes" mode is enabled 
by default, and the option to en(dis)able it does nothing.

What I don't like is that the notation view starts now in select mode, instead 
of insert mode with quarter note duration enabled. This changed in SVN after 
1.2.3, I think.

The only problem is that users may expect to find the same behavior as before  
to be enabled by default, and the new behavior to be an option that needs to 
be explicitly selected. That is a general rule for me, but I agree that I 
would prefer the chord overlapping mode instead of the old one most of the 
time.
