You can check by selecting the voicing with the quarter notes.
If that voicing starts with the quarter rest then it is just to delete it, but that will also move the quarter notes so they start on beat 1 (only my guess).
That's certainly as I would expect it, though I'm slightly puzzled by stated three voices, but four notes playing simultaneously. Generally I would expect one note per voice, otherwise it gets very unclear which voice should be which.
