Ties can't be drawn where there is Time Signature between two notes

It seems, when the two notes are high or low enough so that the tie line can be drawn without touching the time signature 2/4, those tie lines can be drawn.

In another music score app (ScoreMaker), it seems ties can be drawn in such cases, either by placing the tie lines over the 2/4 symbol, or break tie lines before and after the 2/4 symbol. The latter can be a solution in this particular case, because, the bar line happens to be just at the system break.
