[MU4 Issue] Items in "Properties" sidebar jump all over the place during use

[rgreen5]

Describe the bug If you make a change to a property in the "properties" sidebar, you expect the property items to stay in position. However, if you click on the "More" option, then click on any property, the items suddenly shift position, leaving the user bewildered!

P.S. I am using a 15 inch screen laptop.

To Reproduce

1. Open the attached score (unzip first). auber - fd_on_yonderrock(hayden).mscz.zip

2. Click on, say, an item of text in the "Title" frame. Click on various items visible in the "Properties" sidebar. Note that, as expected, the items remain in position.

3. Now expand the "More" button in the Properties sidebar. Again, try changing any property.

RESULT: The items suddenly, and for no apparent reason, jump to a new position. macOS and Linux

Expected behavior (edited)

When the user clicks on "More", this button should remain stationary and the "submenu" (if that's the right word) should unfold below it, causing scroll bars to appear (or extend). The user then scolls down to reveal the submenu properties. This is the current behaviour under MS3.

Platform information OS: macOS, Win11, Linux

I can confirm this still occurs on Windows 11. Mind if I take a look at this issue?

The inspector pushes up so the full content of popups can be seen. However:

• That issue on Windows where the popup does not appear in the correct place should not happen
• The weird sideways wobbling in the first video also shouldn't happen

@DmitryArefiev - has the situation improved at all on Windows / Linux?

OS: Linux Mint 20.1, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 4.0.0-2945953497, revision: github-musescore-musescore-2f7d29c

This is how the More button unfurls in MS4:

IMV, the sudden shift upwards of the "More" button is disorienting.

And this is how MS3 handles a similar situation:

The part that is clicked on stays in the same place and the Inspector expands below the bottom of the window.

I much prefer the MS3 transition.

Nope, the same. Especially on Windows:

Still the same problem in the latest nightly (with a 15 inch laptop).

1. For example, click on a text object, then click on the "More" button in the Properties panel. RESULT: The "sub-panel" pushes the rest of the properties upwards. This causes all the user's visual reference points to shift position – which is disorienting. Expected behaviour would be to allow the sub-panel to unfold down without moving anything above it.
2. Click on another program then click back on on MS4. RESULT: The sub-panel has closed again. Would expect the subpanel to stay open?
3. Click the "More button" then click the square border option in "Frame" RESULT: Again the subpanel shifts everything above it upwards, rather than unfolding underneath the viewport.
