Oh, yes, that happened yesterday, but it affects not only the * but

the * key will not work unless the cursor is still on the A position.
Since
I've only had 2K7 for a few days and only for one client, I had taken
this
as some setting in 2K7 that I'd missed.
That bug bothered me more than any other until I realized that the 'A'
key (unfortunately at the opposite end of the keyboard) does the trick.
It's for "courtesy accidentals" - even though the manual doesn't say to
use it for courtesy accidentals.
That still doesn't solve the issue of being able to display or hide an
accidental the way that the * key allows. That A key does nothing when
the enharmonic shift
involves a double flat.
And Dennis' remark that the * key will work if the cursor is on the
original position doesn't hold true in Fin2007, at least when I change a
G to Abb using the enharmonic key (9). I notice that it DOES work when
it's a simpler change, such as Ab to G# or vice versa. But when it's G
to Abb, it doesn't work. G# to Ab, though, the * works as it should no
matter where it is, on the enharmonic note or the original pitch or even
on a different pitch altogether as long as it's in the correct slot in
the measure.
It appears as if this bug only manifests itself when the enharmonic
shift involves double accidentals, regardless of whether it's
double-flats or double-sharps.
