Unless the default visibility setting has become "top staff only," this isn't a bug. The observed behaviour is expected and desirable for the visibility settings of the on/off elements:

Clef|Type:Treble|Visibility:TopStaff
|Key|Signature:F#,C#|Visibility:TopStaff
|TimeSig|Signature:Common|Visibility:TopStaff

It's a wonderful feature when writing a score from which you'll be extracting parts for individual instruments.

Do you know how your visibility options were set in your example, Rick?

G'day David,
umm, not sure I like the way the clefs move around - are looking at what I'm looking at I wonder?

2.10 did NOT do this... I just tested on my home system (above response came from my office system) which I haven't updated yet, though I am about to.

This scenario is caused by a complicated interaction between bar-note spacing and multi-staff system clef alignment. It will be evaluated for improvement.

Yes. The usual way. Select the object, bring up its properties, click on Visibility, choose "Top Staff Only"

And yes, it is a bug. The behaviour I observed was not expected and is not desireable. I used "Top Staff Only" just to dramatize the problem. It can never be right to display a Clef that far to the right just because some objects on another staff are invisible.

Sorry, I thought you were commenting on the appearing/disappearing aspect, not the horizontal positioning. Mea culpa.

I probably should have called it Signature spacing visibility bug.

NWC2 Beta 2.12 includes changes that should improve this situation.

Beta 2.12 is available now.
