I keep seeing this and I'm not sure if it's expected behaviour, something I'm doing wrong or something odd on my setup of BiaB on Wine.

I'm importing a MusicXML file with an anacrucis and coda. (BTW I always have to tweak the anacrusis as the notes are always, illogically, left-justified in the bar).

The MusicXML contains a single chorus song with the coda present. I then set the "Edit"->"Song Form"->"Setting for this song"->Title/Chorus to reflect the layout of the song and exit the dialogs. I then expand the song to multiple choruses, so that I can set up the tag ending.

I set the tag to exit the chorus after, e.g., one bar from the end, to start the tag at it's first bar and to run to the end of the tag. I uncheck the "generate ending".

At this point, I can examine the melody and see the notes in the tag as I expect.

Here's what's puzzling me though ... when I then generate the song, I get a copy of the final bar of the chorus inserted into the start of the tag, pushing the rest one bar further to the right. Undoing the generate does not undo that, so I start over, though I guess I could edit the notation instead.

Is this normal/expected behaviour, or something else, please?
Is there a workaround to avoid it?

Edit: 2023 1004 ... I should try 1006 later.
Edit 2: also 2023 1006 on Win8.1
