Project
To reproduce this bug:
1. Create a score with 2 or more different instruments (In my case, oboe and Bb clarinet)
2. Implement an instrument change on both staves in the same measure, do not use m. 1 (Measure 7, oboe to English horn, Bb clarinet to Eb clarinet)
3. Change the Long or Short instrument name of the FIRST staff AFTER the instrument change
Using my example, the second staff that's meant to be Eb clarinet at that measure is somehow now English horn along with the first staff after I changed the oboe.

Regression vs what?
Please share the score

I think the problem existed in a previous version, not sure
Are the steps not enough information? Or have you yet to try the steps? Because I'm not sure how you want me to show you...
Just attatch a score that shows the problem
Right, then...
Here's instrument_change_sample.mscz
I did Step 3 for staves 1 and 3 in the score above and it resulted in:
instrument_change_sample_after.mscz
You're welcome to try it for yourself if you want

I did - fault confirmed! Thank you for reporting it.
I can confirm too. Not sure though why you'd want to change the instrument names?

"Not sure though why you'd want to change the instrument names" - to have the staff labelled "Cor anglais" rather than "English horn" perhaps?
