Some chords on Staff View will be half step below

[mgustavo]

Hi, I'd like to say I've been using Chords in Staff View and I noticed an odd behavior, maybe it could be related to latest updates?

It happens in Chord Properties dialog box when one writes a chord name in Name field, like A, B or G, for ex., and hit down arrow key to show different shapes.
However, if one opens the drop-down list the chords will be half step below, i.e., A -> Ab, B -> Bb, G -> Gb, etc. (but that won't occur with C or F).
Also chords with 7th or tension notes will be normal (the issue only apply to triads).

Has anyone seen this issue before?
Thanks in advance!

(*) this also happens on new Sonar.

I have noticed that in CbB and previous iterations of Cakewalk.
Putting a space after the chord name will open it without the b. Going alphabetically, Ab would be the first "word" in the A category. Adding the space tells it you want to go straight to A.

Hi, 57Gregy, thanks for the reply! Now I understand why Ab appeared sometimes in the list! 😅
