Changing the formatting of chord symbols (bold, italic, underline, etc.) in Properties does not take effect unless the size of the text is also changed. Clicking Undo (or ctrl+z) follows the same pattern.
This has been reproducible on every score I've done in 4.0 so far.

Actually, you don't even need to change the size, just do anything that forces the chord symbol to be rendered anew, like double-click to edit then immediately hit Esc. Probably also save/reload would do it. Custom formatting isn't really supported for chord symbols as the formatting is generated on the fly based on the special chord symbol rules in your selected chord symbol description file, but it does basically work, kind of sort of. So, this temporary glitch would be worth reporting on GitHub.
