Description

Describe the bug
There's a problem with the playback of measure 2 of the attached file:

wrong_playback

As you can hear, the half note (minim) is being played staccato for some reason.

wrong_playback.zip

Expected behavior

What you see is what you hear.

Research direction

Start by opening wrong_playback.zip and reproducing playback of measure 2 on the reported MuseScore version, focusing on the half note that sounds staccato. Trace the playback path for that note; done means the rendered half note sustains for its written duration.
