Decrescendo reverting into crescendo in parts

Anyone can explain me why does this little decrescendo:

Turn into looking like a crescendo in the parts:

This happens all the time and I seem not to be able to change it. What is the remedy?

Could you upload the file?
(I’d guess the < actually extends beyond the sffz)

I found out, if I zoom to 500%, I can drag and revert it. Somehow, it gets reverted by Dorico, no idea why.

I think if there’s not enough space, it looks like it’s inverted. You can try to increase the minimum length for hairpins under Library→Engraving Options→Dynamics→Gradual Dynamics→Advanced Options.
