João Tomás Gomes focused on improving the stability and user experience of MuseScore by addressing a nuanced issue with floating window interactions in the musescore/MuseScore repository. He implemented a targeted fix in C++ using the Qt Framework, refining the event handling logic so that resize events only affect the floating window directly under the cursor. This approach involved updating the eventFilter to verify window focus before applying changes, thereby preventing accidental resizing of adjacent panels during complex editing sessions. His work included thorough regression checks, resulting in a more predictable and reliable GUI workflow for users working with multiple floating panels.

March 2025 (2025-03) – MuseScore stability and UX improvements focused on floating window interactions. The primary deliverable was a fix to the floating window resize safety, ensuring resize events apply only to the window directly under the cursor. This prevents unintended resizes of adjacent floating windows during complex score edits with multiple panels (addressing #26074). The change updates the eventFilter to verify the window under the cursor before applying resize, supported by targeted regression checks. Technologies demonstrated include Qt/C++ UI event handling and meticulous code review for UI reliability. Business value: smoother editing workflow, fewer user-reported resize glitches, and increased confidence when working with multiple floating panels.
