Hello, Musescore 3.6.2, Archlinux, KDE Plasma, latest updates.
To reproduce issue perform following:
1. Create some measures with or without content.
2. Place left repeat sign at first measure.
3. Place right repeat sign at 3'rd measure (this must set multiple repeats, at least 2).
4. Add section break at 3'rd measure.
Enable metronome and play score from begin.
You will notice that measure ending with 'end repeat' sign and 'section break' sign plays strange rest that includes into repeat section (therefore breaks songs). And what is unusual, that is - inside this strange rest nothing played, including metronome.
If you replace section break sign to page break or line break, all plays correctly.
Workaround if you need section break on end-repeat mesure: add empty measure before breaking section.

I consider this a bug. The "strange rest" males prefect sense after the end of a section (representing the unwritten pause between movements etc) but NOT before the execution of the repeat. We want "pause after end of section" not "pause before final repeat of section". The workaround of adding an etra bar and placing the end section there works serves no other puepose and is unsightly and confusing in the score.
