Is this a bug or spec?
When put a natural, it should effect only the same octave at a bar. But in
NWC, it effect ALL octaves.

Also, featured request is:
Accidental's property:
Normal; Courtesty (with parentheses); Invisible;
On the note (used for condense space; such as full score)
Both, I'm afraid! But requests to have it sorted out have gone unheeded.
It's one of the areas where some of the authorities say one thing and other authorities say the opposite. I suspect the majority state that an accidental only affects the octave it's written. But to be kind to your readers, it can be good to have a courtesty accidental in any other octave, making clear what's correct. Of course, this just converts the problem into a different one, as NWC doesn't yet have courtesy accidentals, (except as text).
...which, of course, have to be moved manually when transposing.
Don't forget that you can trick NWC into putting in courtesy accidentals by adding a hidden key signature (just remember to change it back with another hidden key signature).
Example: In the key of C you want to have a reminder for the B natural, simply add a hidden F key signature & NWC won't remove the natural - since it now serves a purpose.
Usually the reminder is needed for just a note or, at most, some notes in a bar.
In that case I usually put a hidden muted grace note with a different accidental just before the note with the reminder.
Like that:

|Clef|Type:Treble
|Key|Signature:C|Tonic:C
|TimeSig|Signature:Common
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:1
|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:b0|Opts:Muted|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:n0
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:-1
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:-2
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
You can force an accidental just by adding it to the note. It will display without the need for a grace note. The grace note helps when auditing accidentals.
If you do not need the audit tool, a true courtesy accidental can be placed as text, as shown:
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.5,Single)
|Text|Text:"(f)"|Font:StaffSymbols|Pos:3|Wide:Y
|Spacer|Width:50
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:3
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
So, your example:
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.5,Single)
|Clef|Type:Treble
|Key|Signature:C|Tonic:C
|TimeSig|Signature:Common
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:1
|Text|Text:"(e)"|Font:StaffSymbols|Pos:0|Wide:Y
|Spacer|Width:25
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:0
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:-1
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:-2
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
Yes indeed.
But also in case of transposing.
