Copying lyrics introduces an error

I am copying a whole section of lyrics from a score (highlight music, Filter → Lyrics → All Lyrics, Cmd + C) and pasting them into LibreOffice and observing some incorrect punctuation in the copied text. However, when I return to the score, the correct punctuation is present: a full stop, whereas the copied material shows a comma.

How can the copying process result in a discrepancy like this? The issue persists even after I have saved (Cmd + S) the document. However, if I copy just the single line where I first spotted the error, the correct punctuation is copied. Bizarre! This particular case is reproducible.

I am running the very latest update of Dorico on macOS 26.4.

Can you upload a document that demonstrates the issue?

Let me see whether a cut-down score produces the same error. It’s a truly bizarre occurrence that would likely have gone unnoticed had I not been double-checking the lyrics with my lyricist. I need to finish some other work now, but I will upload an example and provide an update here later this evening.

Apologies for the delay. Yesterday I was unable to export the flow without causing a crash or hang, but this morning, after a restart, the functionality is working as expected. As is the copying and pasting functionality. I can no longer reproduce the issue. All’s well that ends well…
