Comments

There is no way to drag a volta bracket to lower staff since volta are for the whole system and associated with the higher one. I can't reproduce.

Apparently, the initial bug came from a imported MusicXML. It looks like MuseScore does not allow the user to drag a volta on a staff except the first one but that MusicXML import can do it. This bug might be solved together with a new feature (adding voltas on different staff) or in the musicXML importer to avoid such a situation.

In step 1 create a score for two flutes (instead of different instruments).

In step 2 drag the volta bracket so that it is between the first and second staves (even though the dotted line still points to the top staff).
