Even though slur and tie behave different, the Inspector shows the same name for both : Slur/Tie. Even more confusing is that when right clicking on the tie it says Slur Element.
It says "Slur Segment" actually. Maybe we need to change that to "Slur/Tie Segment",similar to Inspector, where it is called "Slur/Tie". Maybe even drop the "Segment" part here as well as for some other elements, like Volta, Hairpin etc.

I notice that they are distinguished if you look at the status bar at the bottom of the window. That might be a good starting point for investigation.

Another issue I found with ties is that moving them up or down does not generate a sound as it does for a regular note.
Why should the notes sound when you move the tie?
But indeed tied notes don't sound when moved, this is a different issue though
Specifically, it is #31676: When moving tied notes by half steps with up/down arrow keys, notes do not sound :-)
Thanks for digging it up ;-)
I guess I wrote it badly, I meant to say that moving tied notes does not make a sound, as in the issue linked by Marc.
