Known issues with symbols?
I know there was work done recently to support Bravura font, and this has had a bit of ripple effect through a number of aspects of MuseScore. It seems for a while the issues introduced were being fixed, but there has been a lull lately, and there are still a number of things not working right. I'm not sure if it's worth submitting individual issues for each of these, or maybe one combined issue, or maybe just track it in the forum.
FWIW, here are some of the issues I am noticing that could be Bravura-related - although note this is all using Emmentaler as my score font.
1. Repeat barlines in palette have incorrectly placed dots (fine when placed in score)
2. Ottava markings are missing their numbers when placed in score (fine in palette)
3. missing accidentals in palette
4. Coda & segno display as boxes in both palette and score
5. wavy line gliss does not display (except for a short segment) in palette or score
6. Line properties in Inspector can be applied trills in line palettes (including, for example, "Allow diagonal", color, line style), but they don't have any effect
7. Custom dynamics like text "cresc.") created in 1.X do not display correctly in 2.0 (either boxes or something else)
8. various symbols from Master Palette can be added to score, but don't seem to attach where I would expect: system divider, bends, falls, probably lots more (that's a ton of symbols!)
Some of might not be Bravura-related and should be submitted as issues even if the others aren't.
Comments
Yes, I've noticed as well.
Things like arpeggio seem to be affected.

I miss the opportunity to use custom dynamics (such "poco f", "sempre p" etc.)

Yes, the inability to directly create custom dynamics is related to #7, but in both cases, I think the root cause is the decision to use Bravura as the default dynamics font, and it simply doesn't contain the characters needed.
Of course, you are free to define custom dynamics as staff text, or to define your own custom text style to use for this. You could even add a sample element to your palette to make it easy to add these. But of course, we'd need a font that contained the necessary characters. It seems bravura leaves the regular ASCII codes open. Would it perhaps be possible to simple add the letters A-Z in the standard places to Bravura - borrowed from some other font, perhaps?
Add:
Drum palette has noteheads on wrong side of stems for all upstem notes
Meanwhile, the bad repeat dots on the barlines palette have been fixed.
