I think you have to drag and drop the calendar to be first in the list. This then will be the calender pre-selected when creating a new event.
The default calendar in the settings is for incoming invitations.

Hi @GretaD
The setting is the calendar settings is not for when you are creating a new event. The setting is only for incoming invitations. The default calendar is controlled by the top most calendar, dragging the calendar you want as default to the top, sets the default for creating a new event.
