The bug was reported to the Support forum: https://musescore.org/en/node/311854
A similar issue has been reported: https://musescore.org/en/node/312489

  1. E.g. a piece of ten measures.
  2. In measure five add a chord symbol and To Coda
  3. In measure nine add D.C. al Coda
  4. In measure ten add the Coda symbol

Upon playback the light blue bar indicating the actual note being played will stop and halt for an extended period at the end of the score. After a while the score is released and returns to normal. May also be interrupted by pressing the space bar.

The issue is solved by changing the behaviour of the chord symbol to "Until Measure End" or "Chord/Rest duration" in the Inspector.
