Really odd behavior with notes in tuplets

This only started happening in D 4.2. and has happened 3 or 4 times. As can be seen in the first pic in the next to the last bar, bottom stave there is what appears to be a quarter note followed by a triplet with a missing beat. Took me a while to figure out that the quarter note is actually the middle note of the triplet that has been displaced. I can straighten it out using the horizontal spacing tool but am wondering how something like this can happen at all?


I hate to sound like a broken record, but we need to see the project itself to provide you with assistance.

It’s too late to send a sample because it has already been solved. I posted it in case that happens to someone else.

It seemed like you posted it because you had a question, to wit:

Unfortunately, we can’t answer that question without seeing the project. Next time, please consider posting the project rather than a picture when you first post the question. (This is part of our standard set of guidelines for people requesting help on the forum, which you can read here.)
