What is the latest version of MuseScore Studio where this issue is present?

4.4.1

Regression

No.

Operating system

Any

Additional context

Interestingly, doesn't seem to corrupt the file - the durations are shown wrong but you can get them back to how they should be with some fiddling on (entering/deleting notes, changing durations etc).

The 'Exchange voice...' commands in Tools > Voices seem to work fine.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in MuseScore Studio 4.4.1 by creating the pictured two-note tremolo, selecting the bar or notes, and switching to voice 2 with Ctrl+Alt+2 or the voice button. Compare the result with Tools > Voices > Exchange voice; done means moving the notes does not display incorrect durations or otherwise make the tremolo layout inconsistent.
