Ubuntu Studio 14.04, GIT commit: 753d232

1) new score, 4/4
2) master palette, click 5/4
3) change "5" to "3+2" in "Text" field
4) Add
5) drag the newly created time sig to measure 2 of score

Result: it shows as 5/4 rather than 3+2/4

If you drag to measure 1, it works. Apparently, *changing* an exist key sig works but *adding a new one* does not. However, had the original time signature in measure 1 been 5/4 rather than 4/4, then dragging 3+2/4 to it will *not* change it. Ditto with double-click. Select an existing time signature, double click 3+2/4 - it takes effect correctly unless the time signature you are trying to replace is 5/4.

BTW, dragging the 3+2/4 from the master palette to the regular time signature palette works as expected (assuming you have created a custom workspace of course). That is, it shows as 3+2/4 in the palette. But it still does not work to add from this palette. Behavior is same as when adding from master palette.

Also, changing text properties once you add it always works.
