KiCAD 9 Bus Labeling: spacebar does something wierd

Schematic
1

In KiCad version 8 and lower I had no problem creating Group bus labels.

simply create a label and start typing… e.g. GRP{blah blah}.

In KiCad 9, if I create a new label with ‘L’, and select the ‘multiple label input’ ( I have no idea what this means, it wasn’t in KiCad 8) it does not do anything strange when I hit the spacebar and I can create a bus label.

But if I then go back in to edit a bus label the checkbox is missing and I can’t use the spacebar without the drop down appearing.

The bus documentation does not appear to have changed.

KiCad 9.0.3

This looks very similar to a bug that was fixed for 9.0.4 (released very recently): Group bus: entering a space after a group member opens the filter menu and you are unable to complete the bus definition (#21300) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab

Could you try upgrading and see if this is still happening?

9.0.4 does appear to fix this. Thanks James
