You did nothing wrong. A change in how these polyphonic contexts work now results in this kind of lyric placement. I have to add \skip1 *in the lyrics* for each note I need the text shifted. In this case I think two are necessary.

  and corresponding text:

ste e --  lei --  son

I get the attached screenshot.

But I would expect (and want...) the text snippet "ste"placed on the
three first quarter notes of the bar,  and the following "e" on the lat
quarter.

The "lei -- son" then should be placed at the next bar.

What do I do wrong here?

Thanks in advance!
