Something that bothers me is when Finale combines rests on a partial measure copy. For example, if I copy a beat consisting of two 16th notes surrounding two 16th rests, Finale will combine the rests into a single 8th rest. This annoying behavior doesn't occur when copying full instead of partial measures, though. It would be nice to be able to do an exact copy of partial measures.
