Unfortunately that bug was fixed quite some time ago. I'm kidding, but there was a bug that would make that happen at one point. The best way to do this is by using an image. Insert a cut time on a staff, then use the image capture tool (it looks like a camera) to take a picture of the cut time and then insert it on the staff next to the real one.

OK, thanks, Mike!

Is strange. When I use the image capture tool the resulting image is ever so slightly smaller than the original. Is there a way to solve that (other than resize the image. Like that the result is acceptable but still room to improve it).

Seems like a bug to me. Let me ask other's opinions.

I believe the correct resolution to get life-size image is 360, so be sure to set the resolution that way (right-click the image capture region to display those options). Maybe that should be the default instead of 300?

Sounds like it needs to be put into the issue tracker so it can be fixed.
Use the cut time time sig, change duration to double, then from the master palette go to the symbols palette, there to time signature, there grab the cut time glyph and drag to the first note/rest of the line.
That one has the correct sizes and even changes size along with that of the score and scales to any zoom factor without showing pixels.
Best switch score to using Bravura, as that is what the symbols palette uses too
But see also https://www.steinberg.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=113998 (for Dorico) and https://forum.makemusic.com/default.aspx?f=5&m=308166 (for Finale)
The former gives hope that one day it'll be part of SMuFL ;-)
Thank you all for your help.
As Marc pointed out with the resolution set to 360 the size is correct. Yes, I think it is a good idea that 360 is the default.
Jojo's advice worked as well. (I needed to keep Emmentaler though, but the difference in this symbol is hardly noticeable).
