Strange little tie/slur thingy... not sure it's an "issue"

Didn’t know about option-clicking, benwiggy. Thanks. But I couldn’t get it to work in this case. New to Option-clicking though.

How have you been handling slurs and ties between different voices in your scores?

@Janus I select the first and last note and press S or T.

But how do you make that selection?

I mouse ‘em.

I just ran into the same issue and the only thing that preserved my sanity was finding this older post in which I had previously discovered (and had now forgotten) that the option to slur from the second of a pair of tied notes ( Engraving Options>Slurs>Tied Notes) prevents one from slurring and tieing from the same note.

While completely logical, I don’t think that many people would make the connection immediately or even a little later. An alert would be a very helpful thing.
