This behaviour has always been there, but you can switch it off.  In previous 
versions it was on by default.  In 1.5.x it should be off by default, but if 
you've been using another version previously you'll probably find that it's 
switched on because that preference will have been saved by the old version.

To switch it off, go to Preferences -> Notation -> Quantize and switch off 
"Tie notes at barlines etc" and "Split-and-tie overlapping chords".  As you 
may guess from the location of those preferences, the idea is to make 
nicer-looking notation from recorded notes; the notes should in principle 
play back as recorded, because they're tied; but the matrix doesn't display 
two tied notes as a single note as it probably should, so the result is 
simply annoying to users who deal mostly with MIDI rather than notation.
