So over the past couple of months EOF has been adding these new features that have been making my life progressively more miserable. I was wondering if someone could give me advice on any of the following problems

1 - First EOF seems to have introduced this feature where if you add a new note by right clicking the note remains highlighted. Seriously I hate this feature with a passion, I've lost count of how many times I've been trying to add a note and then accidentally changed a different note since it has remained highlighted.

2 -  Whenever I add a new note it seems to be added with quite a long sustain. Previously the notes would be created with a length of 1, but now that seems to no longer be the default

3 -  Last and worst of all are these, let's called them black numbered chords. You can see in the diagram that I have attached. You can see that the chords which typically have the fret numbers in white are highlighted in black. Whenever these things pop up they cause every chord in the chart to show up and not automatically high dense in the game (you can see what chart that these black chords lead to (sorry about the image being upside down). Worse still when I try to get rid of them and redo them, they just seem to turn black again. Can someone tell me how to get rid of these things?

From the sound of it your settings changed since most of these can be "fixed" by adjusting your preferences.

I think this one could be a side effect of whichever input method you have selected or maybe the "Add new notes to Selection" option

Tick new notes are made 1ms long.

Chords/notes with the black background have the crazy status, it can be toggled with the T key. Since it gets re-added it's being applied automatically somehow by your settings.

For it to be auto applied to chords I think it'd either be the "Chord Density Threshold" setting or the "Apply crazy status to repeated chords separated by a rest"

Thanks very much! That solved everything. Now I can finish those customs that I nearly have completed
