MuseScore 4 bug? Chord symbols not displaying accidentals.
Unsure if this is a bug, but wanted to see if anyone could reproduce it / check it for me before I look into reporting it.
I want to have chord symbols with accidentals in them (i.e. D/C# or F#) and can type these in as I've always done in previous versions of MuseScore - by typing the 'hash' or 'pound' key and letting MuseScore deal with that.
I can still type in the symbol and MuseScore displays it while I'm entering the chord, but once I leave the edit mode, the accidental disappears and is not displayed.
If I re-enter edit mode, the accidental is shown again - it seems the information is saved, but not displayed.
If I export this to PDF, the accidental is not included.
If I open in MuseScore 3.6 a file created in MuseScore 4 a lot of the style information from MS4 is not carried over, but the chord information includes the '#' symbol.
Platform Information:
OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 4.0.0-2368934360, revision: 8e6cd1f

Update first, you're on a build from 25 days ago.
Here on Windows with todays build this seems to work out fine.

Should've tried that first, right enough.
With the latest build, on Linux, Marc Sabatella's suggestion that the bold typeface is causing this seems to be correct.
Thanks for your help, folks!
The problem seems to be the bold face setting. If I change to regular it works.
Best to submit this as an issue on the GitHub, where MsueScore 4 issues are being teracked (see the original alpha announcement).
Now in https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/12012, where it turned out to be an Ewin issue, https://github.com/MuseScoreFonts/Edwin/issues/11. So using FreeSerif might be the workaround for now. Or a non-bold (and non-italic) Edwin
