Bug with Realize Chord Symbols

"This in note entirely a regression. In MuseScore 3.7, the result is a whole note..."
I don't know how you did it, for my part, the result you describe, "a whole note per measure through the end of the score, all tied together", occurs in exactly the same way with version 4 (say 4.4.3), 3.7, 3.6.2.
And I'd be willing to bet that the behavior has always been the same since 3.5, the version where this feature was introduced. There must be some reason, which I don't know, but it's true that it's unexpected (and also harmless)

See (with 3.6.2.)

@cadiz1 Thanks for the confirmation ... and the video!

Indeed, when I start with a single note I now see the unexpected result also 3.6 and 3.7. Thank you for taking your observations that far.

So, um. Does this mean nobody ever used the Realize Chord Symbols function?

On the other hand, I replicated the single whole note result in MS3.7, but it was on selecting chord symbol attached to a single eighth note in a 16 bar score. I'll see if I can produce an example with replicable steps.

Just for the record: this is perfectly configurable in the Properties, under Duration.
By default, it is "until the next chord symbol".
Well, since there is no next chord in your sample score, it is replicated until the end of the score :)
If you only want the chord and its duration (quarter note), choose "Until the end of the attached duration ". Or for a whole note: "Until the end of the measure".
