Description

Issue type

Crash or freeze

Bug description

Sometimes, when you close a project, the currently running MS instance crashes instead of taking you to the home screen, I have not been able to find a pattern on this since it just randomly happens even when not doing any changes to the score.

Doesn't matter how many instances are running, the behavior is exactly the same.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open any score
  2. Close it
  3. Repeat until you get a crash
Screenshots/Screen recordings

No response

MuseScore Version

4.2 Release

Regression

No.

Operating system

Windows 11, latest canary build

Additional context

This has been a thing since the first MS4 build I've tried, I thought this was already reported...
(I'll try to update this once I find anything that could be useful, though I haven't found anything for the past year so my expectations are really low)
