Description

Issue type

Opening/saving issue

Description with steps to reproduce
  1. Create a score in MU3.6 or MU3.7
  2. Adds all kind of texts, with frame and round corners (e.g. radius = "15")
  3. Open the score in MU4.7
  4. Some of the frames have a correct radius of "0.3sp" others have an incorrect radius of "15sp" (the frame becomes an ellipse)

Remarks: which texts will have this issue when opening in MU4.7 is clearly identified.
In the 2 examples, an expression text has the issue (mcveFrame), and _System text_s have the issue (mcveFrame2)
