Windows 10; Finale 25 & 26.

Your copy & paste feature is very problematic:

1.  If you copy a passage and paste it, almost inevitably, the last note or two fragments, and the passage does not occupy the same note values as the original.  If you paste it before a following passage, the following passage suddenly begins too soon or too late, and all subsequent notes are similarly displaced.  Trying to fix this is such a waste of time that it's often easier simply to write the new passage manually. 

2.  It is very difficult to select a passage that does not occupy full measures.  For example, trying to select passage that occupies a measure-and-a-half is very frustrating.

Please fix these problems.  Thank you.

They won't fix it. It's been this way forever.

 

Learn to use it as it is. It takes some care, but you can learn to select (at least) half beats.

 

When possible, drag your selection to where you want it. That will show a bounding box. You might also try selecting, and using OPT-click to paste. (That's on a Mac; I'm sure Windows has an equivalent function.)
