And now that I realize what you're trying to do, it's the same on my PC.

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.
