When changing key in multi stave the key is wrong.

Example:
1. Create new part with C flute and Bb trumpet.
2. Check Concert pitch
3. Drag F major to the flute stave
both staves got F major (correct in concert pitch)
4. Uncheck Concert pitch
5. Change (drag) F major key to the trumpet stave

Flute got F major too and that's wrong.
It should be Eb major!

Just when I send issue I realize that I forget to say version and I was edited post immediate, few second latter. Maybe automated mail just show the original issue without that.

Title Wrong key signature inserted for transposing instrument Wrong key signatures created for other instruments when adding to transposing instrument with concert pitch off

FWIW, I'd say the transposing staff got the correct key signature; it was the non-transposing staff that didn't. In other words, I expect dragging F to a trumpet staff with concert pitch off means you want the trumpet to have F, meaning concert Eb. So the trumpet is getting what it should, but the flute is not. I've retitled accordingly to be sure.

The transposing instruments now get the transposed key if we are not in concert pitch. I hope (but doubt) there will be no problem with enharmonic key signature...

The original bug in MuseScore 1 was indeed fixed ten years ago. What you are seeing is a new bug in MuseScore 4 with similar symptoms. This is also fixed for a coming update.
