MuseScore 4.4.2 crash when beaming with rests

On my computer, MuseScore 4.4.2 sometimes crashes when I select a rest and use the "join beams" palette option or edit the beam settings in the Properties menu. From instance to instance this is highly inconsistent, but when I try it in the same spot repeatedly it crashes every time. It seldom happens when beaming eighth notes to eighth rests, but outside of that it seems to be almost random. Because of this, some score files crash as soon as they open because they contain "illegal" beamings: attached is such a file. Is this a unique occurrence or is it common? What should I do to fix it? Thanks for any help!
