Palettes Don't Remain Opened
I leave some Palettes opened then shut MuseScore down.
When I open MuseScore again I see those Palettes I left opened are still closed.
How to keep them permanently opened?

As far as I know, you don't. If you want a certain set of symbols always visible, I recommend adding them all to one custom palette, then there is only one thing to open after restarting.

How to copy elements into custom palette? When you drag elements they get lost in the original palette.

First create a new palette with the button at the top of the palettes window, then you just drag elements into it from the other palettes.

I try to drag 4/4 measure to custom palette I created.
When I do that then 4/4 measure icon in the Time Signatures palette is gone.
Is there a way to copy icons to custom palette rather than moving them?

Doesn't work that way for me - the palette temporary blanks out while dragging, but the 4/4 remains there once I actually complete the move. Are you on the current (3.3.4) version?

Sometimes the original element can indeed disappear, not just after dragging to another palette, but dragging to a score as well. In this case just reset the original palette and the element will come back.

I saw that maybe 1/20 times with 3.3.0, but after some tweaks that were made to the palette code, I think I've seen it only once in thousands of tries since, telltale sign of this is the cell remains there, blank, and actually still works even though the cell doesn't display (maybe only via keyboard? been too long since I've seen this happen)

Once in thousands is an understatement ;-) I will go for 1/50-2/50 (so maybe 3/100? xD).

Sure, either MuseScore code or Qt code, but the harder it is to reproduce, the harder to debug.
Anyhow, my point isn't to say the bug doesn't exist, but to suggest that perhaps the OP simply needs to update, because it did originally occur much more often, so that could be how they were being fooled into thinking it just didn't work. Because currently, when it's 3/100 one person's system of literally once in I'm sure over a thousand operations on mine, it's clearly pretty rare, so in general we can say the feature works.

I updated MuseScore to see if the problem still exists on the latest version of MuseScore.
This time I can not drag 4/4 icon to the custom palette at all.

From the time signature palette? That should work unless you've turned off editing for your custom palette. What goes wrong when you try? If you mean, from the score, that's always the case, you need Ctrl+Shift+drag to add an element from a score to a palette.

It’s hard to tell for sure, but it looks like you are dragging too fat and trying to drop after you’ve already left the palette. If you are sure you are within the palette, try clicking the “...” menu and making sure you didn’t disable editing somehow.

Did you make sure you are releasing your drop with the pointer within the palette and not in the space above it? I've done hundreds of these and not had it fail once, nor has anyone else reported any problem like this, so I have to imagine it is something unique to your system or how you are performing the operation

Yes, I am very sure. The pointer of the cursor is withing the palette .

I deleted that custom palette and created a new one.
It's the same.
Although this isn't currently implemented, it would be a nice feature request. I would definitely find it useful.
