Procedure
1. Input a chord name (Shortcut: Ctrl + K) and quit editting mode
2. Double-click on the left of the first character of the chord name
3. Add any text from the front
4. <font face=""/> (text added) <font face="FreeSerif"/> (chord name) is displayed

This can be reproduced by repeating the process for a few times.

Workaround
Two ways:
1. Delete the chord name and input it again with the added text
2. Do not click on the left of the first character of the chord name

I can reproduce, but not with Standard style chord symbols, just with Jazz style

I cannot reproduce even with Jazz style. Can someone provide a sample score and more precise steps (which note to enter the chord on, which chord to enter, etc).

here a score from the piano template, 2 normal chord symbils in Jazz style, the first modified as per this issue, with some useless prefix ("aa")
Trying to the same to the 2nd with valid content ("c/") results in a crash, sometimes, works on other and leats to the same bogus behavior on some more...

Huh. I tried about 20 times to reproduce the issue by adding "C/" in front of the "a". It worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked... and then failed. About 1 time in 10 I can reproduce. Are others find it always happens for them?

One clue is that on the times when it is going to fail, the new text chord gets marked in red as a misspelling, and it actually displays on top of the existing text rather than being inserted in front - do others see that too?

It can actually be reproduced in standard style. I can reproduce it quite often, not like 1 fail in 10 times. Just 2 or 3 trials can reproduce it.
