Open Midi file with Multiple Tracks & Drum Percussion - Staff Notes Duration Corrupts
I open a good Midi file with Multiple Tracks that include Bass Chords and Drum Percussion. In Staff of Drum and perccussion view many notes Duration appear inconsistent. Instead of single 16th or 32nd duration, many are with undescribeable multiple flags with dot. The nearby associate rests also shows strange symbols (for a non-prfessional reader).

In order for someone to investigate, please attach the actual MIDI file instead of just pictures.
Note that you may need to quantize your MIDI file before importing. MuseScore will display your music as accurately as possible rather than "rounding off" everything as you might be accustomed to.

Thank you. I have attached 2 Midi files of the song San Francisco - Scott McKenzie. 1st file (TTX_6-Z19_v11-SanFRAN_FullTRACK.mid) has full tracks with Bass Chord and 5 tracks of Channel-10 Drum-Percussion. The 2nd file is from the same song but I decided to delete othe tracks that don't relate to Channel-10 Drum/Percussion. When I opened the FULLTRACK, the percussion partially corrupted. But when I opened the 2nd file that has only 5 Channel-10 tracks (TTX_6-Z19_v11-SanFRAN_DrumPERC.mid) in MuseScore, the result is fine. All notes show up correctly like in Sonar-Cakewalk program.

There is no "corruption" opening the FullTRACK version - if there were, Musecore would inform you open trying to save a score from it. It's just that, as I said, the notes were not quantized so displaying the notation accurately isn't really all that easy to read. All you have to do is look at the MIDI data itself in your DAW and you will be able to see the notes are not consistent. For instance, the hi hat part that should be starting with eighth eighth notes, the fifth eighth note is two ticks late, starting 98 instead of 96 ticks after the previous one. Simply quantize the file in your DAW then re-import.
