Hi there! I’m engraving this passage and I noticed the way Dorico was treating it to be very odd and not best practice.
Here’s the original:
And here’s what happens when I input it in Dorico.
I’ve tried both doubling the D5 (which is what you see) and leaving it as a rest, but the chord on beat 4 appears this way both times. I find it odd that the Eb5 is shifted to the left and that the tie seems to not connect on the D5.
Any thoughts on why this is behaving this way? I feel like this is a bug.
If you select the lower tie in engrave mode and press F, the tie will flip downward to connect the two lower Ds. Then select the E and activate the property Rhythm dot consolidation:

Fantastic. Yeah, this is a tricky passage. There are a couple of other passages in this particular work that are bad, but I couldn’t figure out for the life of me how to rectify this. But this works “good” enough 
In Library > Engraving Options > Ties > Ties in Chords, if Tie endpoint positioning in chords is set to Outermost ties above/below noteheads, others between, then the ties in your example will look like this:
