Unbeam this clip:

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First
|RestChord|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down|Dur2:4th|Pos2:0|Color:1
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

Now try to beam it. Beam goes under the notes and cannot be changed.
To get back to the original, you must cut the RestChord, beam the eighths and paste the RestChord back in.

I would rather see this bug left unfixed if fixing it means forbidding this construct. I'm reporting it since it took quite a while to figure out what was causing the problem in a much more complex phrase.
