This sounds quite extraordinary - it sounds suspiciously like some
corrupted build - I know Ubuntu distributed an unusable version for a
number of years. If at all possible, get a package from denemo.org.
But meanwhile if you would like to send a small example file exhibiting
this behavior I'll be *very* curious to see. Nowadays, there are red and
blue patches where the keysignature goes and clicking on them sets the
key signature (as well as the commands in the key signature menu, of
course).
