I am useing the German Version it is the function "Tonarten".
When you choose a particular you don't get it in you sheet but another one.

the workaround would be to klick any till you find the right one.
I guess it could be a kind of array-index Problem, whil gaining the user's choice.

I found that also in the prior verions 2.XX

I'd bet you're using a transposing instrument. Toggle concert pitch (Klingende Notation in German).

Almost certainly it is because your instruments are transposing. If you want to write music that sounds in key of F for a trumpet, you have to write in the key of G, since trumpet sounds a step lower. F is called the "concert pitch", G the "written pitch". When adding key signatures, you need to do so at concert pitch, because MuseScore needs to be able to apply it to all the staves of your score and they might have different transpositions.

If this is your first time experiencing transposing instruments, I recommend reading up on the subject.
