When adding whole notes to the Barbershop template (don't use any others), they automatically tie to the next measure.

They would do that when there is not enough room for the whole note at that spot for that duration, like on the 1st beat in a 3/4 measure

The measure where I enter the whole note is empty (i.e., waiting for four beats to be written). The measure immediately following is the same. I can video the note entry if you wish to see the bug.

Looks like you are making the mistake of entering tenor & bass into voices 3 & 4 rather than 1 & 2 - each staff needs to start with voice 1. But aside from that, I can't reproduce any problem. There are no empty measures here, but if I select a few and delete the contents, then enter a whole note, it behaves as I expect.
