1) Write any 2 consecutive same-pitched notes, the second of them double the duration of the first.
2) Tie them together while in input mode. The second note is split in 2 halves and only the first half is tied.
Also:
1) Write any 2 consecutive same-pitched notes, the second of them half the duration of the first.
2) Tie them together while in input mode. The second note's duration is doubled.
Note that neither of these bugs happen if you are not in input mode while tying the notes.
EDIT: When would this ever come up, if dots exist? Say these 2 notes are in different measures.

What do you mean, "tie them together while in input mode"? There is no such command I am aware of. The tie command in note input does not connect existing notes - it adds a new note of the selected duration and ties to it.

Ahhh ok, that explains this behavior then.
I meant if the 2 notes to be tied were already written, and you want to perform an edit that perhaps consists of adding a couple of notes and tying these 2 already existing ones together. If you didn't know to exit input mode before adding the tie you'd get this unexpected result, I thought it was a bug.
But actually it makes sense for the command to add ties to work this way, because this allows you to enter them "on the go" instead of having to enter the 2 notes separated first, and then having to go back and add the tie.
Exactly. The whole point is that the tie command doesn't need you to enter a note first - ties are by definition to the same pitch, so the command can and does input the note for you, when in note input mode. Enters a whole chord for you even.
