Change note duration to half note in 2/4
In 2/4, one measure with one half note.
Select the note.
Press 5 (becomes 4th note), then press 6 it becomes a half note again => ok.
Press 7: becomes linked to a half note in the next measure (ok), then press 6 it doesn't become a standalone half note again and stays linked to the next measure?

I would consider that a bug.
It does work if you switch between double and whole values (7 8 7).

I am not sure I'd consider it a bug. It's sort of a special convenience feature we have that changing a note to something too big to fit in the measure will automatically create another note tie, but it isn't a "bug" that we don't provide an additional feature that automatically checks the entire tied length of a note and removes ties when appropriate. Even though the half note you have selected is tied to another, it is still just a single half note you have selected, so pressing "6" is a no-op. Whereas in the second case mentioned, you have a half note selected, you are changing it to a whiole, so indeed the convenience feature kicks in and creates a new note and ties it (thus removing the old tie).

In hindsight that kind of makes sense, after all I'm able to select the 2nd part of a tied note and change that length only as well.
However it doesn't full feel right because it *seems* to work when changing into non-exactly matching note values.
So I agree, not a bug, but rather an inconsistency in user experience where I think it would make sense to not have the inconsistency. As in, I currently see no downsides to change (fix) the behavior to check for and remove a forward tie if the note length is changed into the value of the selected notehead.
