Hi Aaron,
My experience exactly, and no, not a bug, just different behavior
resulting from the redesign of the tools, as you describe.
Nevertheless, thanks for the confirmation.

However, if you try to Ctrl-Click the currently selected measure
after you have switched to the Measure tool, the measure number
does not appear. You need to first deselect the measure, and then
Ctrl-Click it.
I don't think this is a bug; it's related to the tool consolidation
that has taken place in Fin08. Copy and Paste are no longer
constrained to the Mass Edit tool (or the new Selection tool) --
you can copy and paste in any tool which supports measure selection
(like the Measure and Staff tools).
So if you have a measure selected in any of those tools and Ctrl-
Click on that measure, Finale now interprets that as a request to
paste the contents of that measure into the same measure, rather
than as a request to show the measure number. If you select a
measure in the Measure tool and Ctrl-Click on a different measure,
you'll see what I mean -- the contents of the first are pasted into
the second. Ctrl-Click to show a measure number will only work if
you're in the Measure tool and do not have a measure selected.
Aaron.
