Lyrics extension oddity

[benwiggy]

Here’s a curious behaviour, and I can’t tell if it’s deliberate or unintended:

I add some music in a bar, and enter a lyric with an extension line.

I leave a rest and then add some more notes. When I add a note in the next bar, the extension line jumps to fill the bar.

If you subsequently add a note in that gap, I would expect the prevailing word/syllable to be sung on that note unless it’s explicitly countermanded by another lyric. And if you create another lyric on that note, the duration of the previous lyric is immediately updated as appropriate. So I don’t see a problem here.

And there we have it. Of course.
