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

OS: Windows 11 Version 2009 or later, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore Studio version (64-bit): 4.5.0-250721848, revision: github-musescore-musescore-7c55023

No.

Operating system

Windows 11

Additional context

It seems that Macs display the selection boxes with thinner lines than Windows, so I wonder if the problem exists on them too.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in MuseScore Studio on Windows 11 using repeated notes near the staff's upper or lower range, then select measures and add staccato markings. Done means the selection box no longer obscures the staccato markings; also compare whether the thinner Mac selection box changes the behavior.
