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): 4.5.2-251141402, revision: github-musescore-musescore-ac9d3bc
Regression
Yes, this used to work in a previous version of MuseScore 4.x
Operating system
Reported on Windows 11
Additional context
This doesn't happen when using muse sounds, I've only heard it with soundfonts, haven't tried VST
The more ties on the chord, the longer it delays the start of the arpeggio, the first tie has the most impact
