Comments
Actually, this is a major problem. Depending on the order of note entry, Musescore will display different, and sometimes misleading, accidentals. For example, look at test-shared-noteheads-2.mscz.

Like the first example, but with a natural instead of a flat:
Or problematic.bitonals.mscz, which is completely incorrect (as opposed to merely misleading):
The actual playback order of notes:
Whereas, the displayed order of accidentals:
Edit: apparently this is fixed after re-opening the file. To reproduce:
