Da capo al coda causes the last measure to extend beyond the measure length
Da capo al coda causes the last measure to extend beyond the measure length as if there were hidden measures. In playback mode, it takes a while to return the edit mode. When exporting to .WAV the piece is extended with about 30 s after the music should have stopped.
If the coda sign is not applied the music stops correctly at the end of the last measure (obviously, the "To Coda" and "D.C. al Coda" are ignored).

Plays just fine when I try it, But I use MuseScore 3.5.1, you 3.5.0.
As 3.5.2 is available now, please update to that and check again

Thank you.
I've updated to 3.5.2 but unfortunately the problem persists. Exporting to WAV still adds about 40-45 s of silence at the end.
When playing back in Musescore, the "cursor" (the vertical light blue bar showing which note is being played) stops at the end of the last measure and stays there for a about 45 s before the sheet is automatically released for editing. (Can force it to stop using the space key as normal).
So far it is only in this sheet that I have experienced this.

Confirmed, very strange

Something strange is happening that's not in the score or the internal file that I saw. I changed the stretch on one fermata to 1.01 and the problem went away. I changed it back to 1.00 and the problem did not come back.

Which is even stranger, as I inserted a measure before that last one, entered all the notes and decorations and deleted the last measure and it didn't solve the issue.
I've even removed the fermatas

I didn't check to see if the problem stays away with save/reload.

I can't reproduce that "fix"

I was testing playback, which I forgot to mention. Exporting was still a problem.

Me too, only tested playback
I think I found the source of the problem: It's about chord symbols.
1. Open the Inspector.
2. Right-click any chord symbol and click "Select> All similar elements".
3. Check the "Duration" section at the bottom of "Chord Symbol" from the Inspector: Replace it with "Chord / Rest Duration" or "Until Measure End".
There will no longer be any extra wait on that last measure.
Note: Not necessarily, but let me remind you not to forget to "Save" at this stage.
Cause of bug: It may be because the "Until Next Chord Symbol" option is default and the chord symbol before "to Coda" has missed its length due to an internal(?) error.
I think the waiting time at the end is equal to the duration of all measures (including the last measure) after the "to Coda" sign.
I've added a blank test score. You can change the "Duration" option by selecting the chord symbol before "to Coda" here and see the problem (and solution).

Thanks to everybody for your time and effort and Ziya for the solution.
Setting the duration of the chord symbols in the piano line just before "To Coda" to "Until Measure End" solved the problem.
Incidently, these were superfluous (copy-paste error), so deleting them also did the trick:-)

You mean #312515: Chord symbol in last measure before To coda causes the last measure to extend beyond the measure length if no chord symbols are present after the coda I guess. To me that is a duplicate of #312489: After repeat/jump chord symbol playback doesn't stop at Fine if there's no chord symbol at the start of the next measure
