[JW Lua] Slur segment does not return measure pos

[Jari Williamsson]

Jan,

The F key in the Smart Shape Tool is a reported bug in Finale/Windows. 
You get the same behaviour for any modeless window in the Smart Shape 
Tool (such as trying to add text with the letter F in a Score Manager 
entry field while the Smart Shape Tool is active).


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
