This only happens on a new score when I first start
Bring up a new score from template (I believe it only happens with a fresh score)
Write some notes
Go back to the beginning and set a key signature
The “C Major” flag disappears, but it stays in C maj
Try again, this time it works and works thereafter (the popover changes to the new key)
Example, C maj/min is coincidental, its the same with any two keys. Is this intentional? I expect the key to popover to work the first time, but maybe there’s something else going on here.
Sure, but I’m not asking whether there’s a workaround, but why is this occurring. Its not the behavior you’d expect. In any case I found it because my default is not to select the flag.
No, it only occurs the first time. Notice the flag isn’t selected each time I’m changing the key sig, but it only fails the first time. Inconsistent behavior
At any rate popovers are modal immediate actions intended to produce the desired behavior. ‘Delete old key signature but don’t create a new one’ by popover isn’t intuitive or expected.
Note: The deselection of c minor was done by a left click on the score, then I brought up the popover. You can’t see the click in the example above but it’s done.
OK, it’s just that I would never try that way. If you have a 4/4 measure and want to change it to 3/4, you select the 4/4, click return, and change it.
Still, I agree that if it’s only the first time, that’s strange.

I can’t reproduce this in a new score. Maybe it’s related to something in your template? Are you using one of the default templates, or something custom?
This screen looks as if it has three options: in addition to the C major key signature (labeled with a signpost) and C minor (labeled with a key signature), you have an undefined (atonal) key signature, not labeled at all.
It’s a custom template, I’ll send it to Daniel and see if he can reproduce. It’s a complicated template with an embedded sketch score so maybe it’s triggering something.
