OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.1.0.6721, revision: 1982daf

Steps to reproduce:
1. See the attached score, measure 6.
2. Format > Style > Lyrics > Max hyphen distance was set to 9 sp (to show the problem clearly).
3. When inputting the lyrics In measure 6, the lyric hyphens are initially spaced correctly after input of each hyphen.
4. But when inputting the last hyphen of the measure on the syllable "up-", all the hyphens disappear from measure 6 when the cursor moves to measure 7 at the system break.
5. Move the system break to measure 7, and the hyphens reappear.

Step 3 - hyphens as input:

Step 4 - hyphens disappear after cursor moves to next system:

Step 5 - move system break to measure 7, and hyphens reappear:

Regression No ⇒ Yes

I have to withdraw my suggestion that this problem is caused by a deliberate system break.

This new example score shows the same problem of lost hyphens even in the absence of a manual system break. The problem seems to arise whenever a hyphenated syllable spans more than one system.

See measures 98-102, where the hyphens are missing under all the coloured notes:

Confirmed; a must-fix. I was messing with melisma layout and my changes shouldn't have affected hyphens but maybe they did. Or maybe it was the tick/fraction change. I will investigate.
