"scoop" symbol is glitchy-sounding and shortens the note it's applied to
OS: Windows 10 Version 2009 or later, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 4.2.0-233521124, revision: eb8d33c
Using muse Basic
Create a score with a note that would play for a long time at whatever tempo you've picked (like a half note at 210bpm, in my case)
Apply the "scoop" symbol from the "arpeggios and glissandos" palette.
Playback will now essentially ONLY play the scoop, and not the note it's attached to; the sound of the pitch bend is very wobbly, as if it went back down sometimes while trying to go up; and there is no option to adjust how fast the scoop is / when it begins, which probably contributes to it sounding completely unnatural. Workaround, as of now, is to painstakingly go back on every inserted scoop and deactivate it

We really need a way to turn off by default the effect of articulations, given that so many of them are counterproductive
Sounds like you might be referring to https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/18265. If your case seems different, please attach your score and say which notes you are having trouble with. Then if we can confirm a new bug, you can open an issue on GitHub to report it to the developers.

My case seems similar except that 1. I always, not sometimes, get the scooped (target) note shortened, and 2. probably due to using ms basic, it sounds much uglier and choppier on my scores.
