You have that half rest selected as well, so it’s extending upstem voice 1 AND pushing it to the left. You’re increasing the value of the rest as well as the notes. Not a bug.
that’s not exactly what’s happening here:
From initial state to Option-Shift-Right Arrow, the upper layer is not extending its length - it’s shortening the length by one sixteenth note by shifting the initial attack from beat 3 to the “e” of 3. Note that the end of that layer has not been pushed at all
I also conjecture that rest length isn’t the issue here since Option-Shift-Left Arrow state does not modify that initial rest value in either layer, but instead behaves as intended - both the upper and lower layer decrease their note length by one sixteenth note, but the upper layer retains its offset of one sixteenth note.
Dan’s right - this is happening because you’ve got the minim rest selected. This is important for two reasons:
aaaaah got it. Thank you both.
