Research direction

Reproduce the issue in MuseScore Studio using the listed selection, copy/paste, and duplicate-measure steps, including a mid-measure bar line. No source file or test is named in the report, so trace the measure copy/paste and duplication entry points from the observed behavior. Done means the mid-measure bar line is retained in both pasted and duplicated measures.
