Disappearing ties.
I have a piece of music where the verse ends at the bottom of the page. The last notes are tied across a bar-line. (see the attached file-start).
The first note of the chorus starts in that last bar. I decided to split that last bar so that the chorus starts on the next page. So I select the note, "Edit" from the menu and choose "Split bar before selected note" Does exactly what I wanted but also removes the ties from the previous notes.
Is that expected? It's no big deal I just have to re-add the ties but why? what's the reason for removing the ties?

Sounds like a bug.
@Ewart North, if you instead use a line break?
Interesting bug. Also happens if you join the last bar to the next bar so presumably during the re-layout of of the selected measure(s). Can't see how a line break will help, soichi, because the desire here is to split and have a pick-up for the chorus and you can't put a line break in the middle of a bar.
Yes, it's known that splitting a measure sometimes removes ties (and slurs). See #97376: Split Measure breaks slurs and ties
