MS4.6 alpha: Selected system font for a tablature stave fails to activate on the first attempt

[scorster]

On MacOS it seems that two tries are needed to "activate" the selected font face as illustrated on .org

This behavior is present in the 3.7 nightly

OS: macOS Ventura (13.7.8), Arch.: arm64, MuseScore Studio version (64-bit): 4.7.0-252830317, revision: github-musescore-musescore-bcb9149

UPDATE: Now reported on Github at #30432

Steps to replicate

• New score > Solo > Guitar + tablature
• Add a few notes to the score
• Choose Staff/Part Properties for the tablature staff
• Click the Advanced Style Properties button
• Click the Edit Text Style buttons
• Set the font face to something distinctly different, like Comic San or Chalkduster or a dingbats font

RESULT: The fret numbers in the TAB staff immediately update

• Increase the font size

RESULT: The fontsize of the TAB numbers immediately updates

• Then confirm and exit by clicking: OK, OK, OK

RESULT: On clicking the last OK the frets display, not as set in the dialog, but as they did at the outset ... AND the properties just entered are still intact!

Return to Edit text style via:

• Choose Staff/Part Properties for the tablature staff
• Click the Advanced Style Properties button
• Click the Edit text style buttons

Note that the properties are as you had set them (though they do not affect the fret numbers in the score.)

• Then confirm and exit by clicking: OK, OK, OK

RESULT: Now the frets display according to the properties set.
