Enter some beamed notes.
Double click the beam to put it in edit mode
Click the left grab handle
Result: the right grab handle is selected when you release the mouse button
Drag one of the grab handles and see how slow and jerky it responds. The left handle is far slower than the right handle.
Fix version
3.3.3

I don't know about the jerkiness, but the first issue is the result of https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/4029, which I do not believe was a good change.
Also, the Up/Down arrows don't work to move a beam up/down if left grip is selected.

This works for me. Are you testing this on a revision that includes the fix for #289250: Tabbing in edit mode leaves hairpin?

Checked again in RC. Up/Down arrows work, indeed. My bad, I should have checked the version.
See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/5156.
OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.3.0.7722, revision: cc654b1
A related issue:
Press either the up or down arrow once.
Expected result: The right handle should move one step up or down.
Actual result: The right handle doesn't move: instead the "Custom position" box is ticked. You have to press the arrow again to move the handle.
Note: In 2.3.2, the "Custom position" box is ticked and the handle responds on the first click.
I have pushed a change to https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/5156 that resolves the "Custom position" issue also. The key is to set the USER_MODIFIED property before setting the BEAM_POS property because of the logic in Beam::setProperty().
Still awaiting the fix in MS 3.3 RC2.

The PR was added to the 3.3.1 milestone on GitHub, which means this will be fixed in 3.3.1, don't worry about it ;-)
