Notes: Regarding the normal notehead, page 10 of 'Behind Bars' states: "The notehead fills the space, touching the stave-line on each side of it, but without extending beyond either line:"

Regarding the cross notehead, page 11 states: "It fills a stave space."

You can take almost any manually engraved sheet music to counter this "rule" from Behind Bars. I don't see how this is a bug.

This is nothing MuseScore can enforce. Its a property of the music font used. So the font designer decides how big note heads appear on the score.
Personally i like note heads which are bit "fatter" as they are easier to read.
