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

MuseScore 4.5.1

Regression

I was unable to check

Operating system

Windows 10 (i dont know it this bug occurs in any other device since i dont have any other than this pc)

Additional context

if i remove all the grace notes of, say, before the note (if only it's the grace notes after the note that are being played) then add them again, the notes that arent playing are now gonna be the ones after the note and viceversa
