Hi Rudi, Finale's behavior in editing accidentals is weird and inconsistent, causing edits to be a lot harder to perform than they should be. I think the "post-nudge" position agreeing with Read is little more than coincidence. Try lowering my example one octave and nudge the F sharp. Observe the resulting jumble.
My guess is (lining up with what we regularly hear on this list and from MakeMusic!) that this problem hasn't been enough of a squeaky wheel to garner the attention needed. The behavior of at least one other aspect of "Special Tools" lags behind that of many other tools. When dragged, handles don't temporarily disappear (a la tuplet, articulation and expression behavior). When is the last time anything apparent (or not apparent if someone knows) has been updated or fixed in "Special Tools"?
