It sounds like you are saying the issue with spurious accidental cancellations 
is fixed in 2.19.9 and the ticket just needs to be updated.  That’s great but...

Entering lyrics with durations is inconvenient.  The effort overlaps with 
entering a melody (providing another opportunity for time-wasting tyops) and 
prevents reusing the same lyrics for other melodies with different rhythms.  If 
NullVoice in 2.20 requires me to enter durations on lyrics, I will instead 
revert to avoiding the part combiner.
