General playback bug

Bug description

I am new to MuseScore 4 and have set the shortcut for "Jump to previous bar" to left-arrow button. But often after pressing play and listening well into the score, and I press left-arrow button it just jumps right to the very beginning. Quite frustrating.
The program should be clear with the user if there are any additional functions that pressing left arrow button has and how to distinguish between their triggers.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Press play in score
  2. Press left button (or Ctrl-Left if default assignment)
