It seems that when you did the select all and then replaced the selection with a text symbol, the font was changed to MScore1, and that fonts doesn't contain a full set of characters. Only the."s" and "r" were available, and MuseScoe automatically substituted a default font for the rest of the characters. Probably inserting from the text symbols palette shouldn't change the font in this case, except for that one character, but I wouldn't be surprised if that behavior wouldn't seem correct in some other case.

Anyhow, the solution here is to not do a select all before the inset, or to change the font back to something else after inserting. I normally just wait until the end to add notes when editing tempo text. I run across related issues when trying to add text to a ltransposed lead sheet that reads "Bb version" - depending on what order you do things in when adding the flat sign, the results can be surprising, if not technically incorrect.
