Signature misalignment after Special Ending (Beta 2.14 bug)

Create 2 staves and copy the code into each of them.
One would expect items on identical staves to align vertically, but after a Special Ending, Clefs, KeySigs and TimeSigs do not.

I too see the same problem, using Windows XP Pro.

There are two things that seem to trigger it, Rick. 

It's unusual to have a key signature in a special ending - if you remove them, the alignment improves, but I don't think it's the real problem.

I think the issue is the different default visibility characteristics of the special endings between staffs.  The top one is always visible, the lower ones default to invisible.  You'll notice that if you change the second staff setting to "always," they will align. However, that's not what you normally want in a piano part or a score. 

In a nutshell, there's something different about spacing between visible and invisible endings.

I hope I've found a clue for Eric to work with.

Yep. It's a visibility problem. This aligns just fine:

It is unusual to have signature items in a special ending. Otherwise it wouldn't have taken several weeks to be reported.
Visible/invisible Clefs don't vertically align any more either. See:Beta 2.11 Signature visibility bug

I'm glad I'm just a user of the program, not the developer.  What a nightmare Eric faces, eh?
