In the attached file, double-click the dynamic to enter text edit mode. Delete the "f" and then press undo. The dynamic is now very small. However, the inspector incorrectly states that the dynamic is 12 pt. This occurs with all dynamics.

I cannot reproduce this; on Undo the "f" is the same size as before. But, it's in italics, because the overall style for dynamics text is indeed italic even though the "f" character itself is not (it only looks that way), and operations like undo and also copy/paste always revert to default formatting (a known bug I can't find an open issue for). Simply turn italtic back off for the "f" and all is well.
Clarification: Press backspace to delete the "f" (while you are in note edit mode) and then immediately press undo. I have attached a file showing the bad dynamic size.
Hmm, I can confirm results seem to vary according to the specifics of how you delete the character. I think this is basically a mismatch in font settings since the special "f" characters aren't real f's but instead special characters from the music font, and anything else you type into a dynamic is regular text. So the boundary between when the text switches from the special font to the regular font can sometimes get a little confused. Easily worked around by simply re-entering the special "f" directly by typing Ctrl+Shift+F.
