Linked task does not 'move' to predecessor end

Hi, I’m using 3.3.3316. I’ve noticed that when creating a new task (task2) and linking it to the predesessor (task1) via end/begin (hard link), task2’s start date does not change but stays at its creation date (project start date). A ‘link-arrow’ is displayed, but the date does not change.

It feels like … the ‘dependency solving routine’ is not running, if that makes any sense.

Any ideas what I can do to solve that? Means: When linking tasks their dates change according to the new constraint?

Thanks in advance!

The above remains unchanged on Win11. But I’ve doublechecked the same version on Linux. There the behaviour is as expected: If two tasks are linked, the following task’s begin date is changed to the date immediately after the first’s end date AND the task’s rendering in the gantt-chart ‘jumps’ to the new date.
Is there a setting, that I’m missing, that prevents the following tasks from being updated?

thx

Please share a sample project that reproduces the issue. A screencast showing the scenario on your computer would also be helpful.

Sure, here you go.

Thanks for spending your time and looking into it!

btw, I’ve also tried the zipped version with the separate jrd installation. No change in the above behavior.
