Inserting a C/Am key "signature" to a C/Am score causes inconsistent behaviour
This is a minor issue indeed, as it isn't likely to happen, but may have some side effects which are currently undetected. Reproduce:
1. Open MuseScore with "My First Score".
2. Drag an empty key signature (Cmaj/Amin) to the 2nd measure
expected: there is no visual change
result: an empty space is added at the beginning of a measure (which obviously cannot be selected).
3. Drag any other key signature to the 1st measure - let's say it's Gmaj
expected: the (2) is ignored OR it is not ignored and a natural appears in the 2nd bar and a key is reverted to Cmaj after that.
result: a natural appears in 2nd bar but the key isn't changed to Cmaj/Amin (as shown in an attached screenshot)

Confirmed with 7a67e63
again dragging a C major key sig into the 2nd measure fixes the naturals to the notes.
...or saving the score and opening it again.
which hints at a missing re-layout in the code?
which somehow makes it easier to fix, but isn't relevant to the point (2) of the description. Maybe it should be moved to a separate issue.
If it were just a missing layout, the score would fix itself as soon as you pressed Ctrl+A, or edited it in any way.
I think the actual culprit will turn out to be an incorrect keysig "map" - a data structure built internally to track key sig changes. That would explain why it fixes itself on reload. This might also explain a few other keysig-related issues that have cropped up since the recent change to support custom keysigs.
