Repeats Broken (Repeat After Dal Segno)

I tried to make the volta and repeat in section B1 play as intended after a Dal Segno, but as per convention, MuseScore skips over the volta after Dal Segno.

Here is what my score looks like:
|: A | B | C |[Volta 1] D1 :|[Volta 2] D2 :| E... [DS al Coda]
Here is what it did:
| A | B | C | D1 | A | B | C | D2 | E ... | A | B | C | D2 | E ...
Here is what I need to do:
| A | B | C | D1 | A | B | C | D2 | E ... | A | B | C | D1 | A | B | C | D2 | E ...

I tried messing around with the repeat number of the end repeat bar line, and also the repeat list of the Volte, but I can only describe the result as "I think I broke it".
| A | B | C | D1 | A | B | C | D2 plays simultaneously over A | B | C | D2 | E ... | A | B | C | D2 | E ...

Is there any way to achieve this (or if I can't, fix it so that it works as intended by MuseScore)?

Closest I could get with uneducated fiddling is:
| A | B | C | D1 | A | B | C | D2 | E ... | A | B | C | D1 | D2 | E ...

Which is achieved by setting the prima volta repeat list to '1,3'
Couldn't combine it with the repeat count setting though, because increasing that messes up the first (non-DS) playthrough already..

This isn't a bug. MuseScore is behaving as intended - as you say, the convention is normally to not repeat on a DS. There is already a feature request to provide more control over that, so i am closing this as a duplicate.

In the future, it is better to ask for help in the forums, and only post something as a bug to the issue tracker once it is confirmed as a bug.
