Tie appears in wrong staff
Transcribing an existing piece, I have a final chord split across both staves, which is not directly supported by Musescore, so you have to create additional voices, lengthen stems and hide tails.
In this case if I attach a tie to the final D (D4) in the first measure, it appears next to A2 in the bass staff.
It's not a functional tie, as the first D4 in the next measure still has the Play property.
If there's an epic regarding chords crossing staves this probably belongs with it.

I think it is a functional tie. You just have to drag it up where it's supposed to be. As a test I deleted the notes on the first beat of the second measure, except D4 and changed the voice to organ to be able to hear it.
Seems like a problem with cross staff notation and having to use different voices.

I just noticed if you delete the rest of the first chord, i.e. leaving just D4, then the tie jumps up to appear in the correct place.Adding notes back in makes the tie drop back down to the bass staff.

Hence my comment about the cross staff epic.
I can confirm this. It appears to be a duplicate of https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/15662, but you might want to check to be sure. Feel free to add a comment if you feel your example clarifies something, or open a new issue if you believe it to be a significantly different enough case.
