[LAU] rosegarden midi editor woes

Hi guys, I'm using rosegarden 1.7.3 (=latest release) I think this is the best tool to do midi editing for drums on Linux (please tell me if I'm wrong), but it does do some weird things which get on my nerves: - inability to properly select (groups of) notes: frequently it selects notes I didn't click, or it selects a group when I just want one note, etc - inability to properly insert notes: when i insert 1 1/32 note, and then want to do one next to it, it removes the one i just insert (even with quantize set to 1/32) - copy paste behavior: when pasting, it pastes the notes at the beginning of the song (is this pebcak?) - when zooming in/out, the song jumps back to the beginning, even if the 'time pointer' is somewhere else. i could mention some more things, it only takes me a couple of minutes to start hitting time-wasting oddities. anyone had similar issues? can it be solved? is there something better then rosegarden? i tried openoctave midi but found it to be even more buggy then rosegarden (doesn't even render correctly) thanks for your help Dieter
