Surprisingly (?), it works in "branch Master", with last nigthly eg: f85163f (and previously too), but not in branch 3.2 and 3.3 ?
So we can regard it fixed then i guess.
What do you mean by branch 3.3? There is no such branch yet

Well, I know there is not branch 3.3 yet...
Soon 3.3
I reopen. Doesn't work. Custom settings are always lost with current R.C.2: OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.3.0.8640, revision: 399151f
Did you check the "Toolbars" button when you created the workspace? If not, it's normal the customization isn't saved as part of the workspace. It's kind of an open question as to what should happen to toolbar customization made in a custom workspace if you don't elect to save them as part of that workspace. Frankly, none of the options that were considered and tried during the original implementation of the workspace expansion project (this was part of GSoC in some past year) were very satisfactory.
You're right, of course. Sorry, my mistake. And I'm surprised myself that I made this mistake! I know these settings when creating a workspace, and yet I don't even think about them. Disappointed by myself! ☹️ Or maybe I simply forgot: I don't use these settings, also because they caused some bugs not so long ago. So, problem solved. I close it. Thank you.
It's easy to forget! To me the behavior still seems a little surprising. Like, maybe there could be a "global" toolbar configuration that changes etc saved to if they aren't part.of the current workspace, because otherwise they just get lost. But as I recall there were problems with this too. So we live with it as is even though it's not idealm. Maybe someday someone takes another look. So I'd like to leave this open for consideration.
