Just to mention that this is not new for Sib 8 - if you make a 1st ending in 6.2 or 7.5, for example, by selecting the notes in the bar rather than passage selecting the bar, you will see the same thing.
The problem is really not with the line, or of any changes to how lines end in bars, but with the spacing of bars that contain clef changes.
There actually is a fix for this, though it is not trivial. The plugin
Respace Clef Change is probably the easiest way around it. There is a writeup on that plugin at http://www.sibeliusblog.com/tips/respace-bars-with-clef-changes/
This is what the plugin says it does, and which you can do manually as well:
For all staves, for any bar that contains a clef change right before the barline, the plugin hides the clef changes, then respaces the bar in all staves, then makes the clef changes visible.
In fact it is a bit trickier. Doing the above will leave the clef crammed up against the barline. (see screenshot).
So you might think, "oh I will just respace again" and doing so puts the clef in a good position but also puts the original gap back. So nothing has been gained...
But if you look in the Inspector/Property window with the clef selected before you change anything and check its X offset, you will notice it changes after the respace. In my example, the original X was -4.59 and the respaced X was -2.28.
So what the plugin does is that it saves the X offsets of any clefs in the to-be-respaced bars. It hides the clefs, respaces the bars, unhides the clefs, and restores the X offsets.
If the clefs were misspaced with bad X values before the entire operation, they will be restored to mispacedness. But if they were well positioned before, they will be again.
Let's say you have an orchestral score and have a fair number of clef changes in the various instruments. You can in fact do this by hand by recording the X offset of all the offending clefs, then hiding them all, then selecting the bar and do Reset Note Spacing.
Then unhide each clef and reset its X offset. Ta Da!
This is why I write plugins.
