You need to put the rest first - so,step by step

Select half note
Select tails up (click on the "tails up" sign or shift & up arrow. Note that shift & up arrow can turn "tails up" off if it was on - it acts as a toggle)
Press space bar to put in the rest
Select whole note
Select tails down
Hold down the control key and press the enter key.

Job done.
