Using Frescobaldi 4.0.4 on Linux Mint 22.2 Zara I can confirm what you describe. It even goes further: after collapsing
the \repeat section you can expand it by clicking on the "e", but also by clicking on "click me"
plus by clicking "collapse me" and on any note in the \repeat and the "click me" sections - so
practically everywhere.
This really is not logical, as you say, and feels like a bug and not as a
feature to me as well. I cannot see any usefulness. When you collapse a
section, you normally have your reasons for doing so, and you want to keep it
collapsed as long as you want it to be like this, especially long sections.
Clicking on a note in the Music View normally is supposed to bring the cursor
to the place in your code by point-and-click where a problem is located. Not to
accidentally expand a section you even do not want to review.

In some situations, Frescobaldi unfolds sections that I don't think it
should. Take the snippet below:
%%%
\version "2.24.4"
rightHand = \relative {
\repeat volta 2 {
c'4^"collapse me" c c c |
d4 d d d |
}
e4^"click me" e e e |
}
\new Staff \rightHand
%%%
If you collapse the repeat section, then click on the e in the Music View,
the repeat block will unfold. That doesn't seem right to me. Bug? New
feature?

Hi Knute,
How are things? Hope you're doing well.
Just wanted to let you know I can't get that unfolding behavior at all and
I've tried several combinations of clicking and layout options to trigger
it. I'm using LilyPond 2.25.25 and Frescobaldi 4.0.1 on Windows 11
currently. I haven't tried Linux yet. Originally I thought it sounded like
maybe a point-and-click issue or something but I'm not sure. I can't get
Frescobaldi to unfold that repeat block like you describe.
What version of Frescobaldi are you using?
Ben
I'm using a development version (4.0.5 I think, I'm not at my desk) on
Linux. It may be just me but I'd like to figure out what's going on. Thanks
for taking a look at it. I'll try it on Windows tomorrow.
