Issue: I'm creating a choral score (TTBB) on 2 staves. When entering the Bass part (Voice 2) before the Baritone (Voice 1), I get to the bottom of the page and the view doesn't advance to the top of the next page with the cursor.

Workaround: I have to escape out of note entry and manually move the page to the top of the next before restarting note entry in that location.

See page 3 of the attached score for an example.

I've noticed this also, but never submitted a bug report. My bad. Another workaround if you have a mouse wheel is to hold ctrl+spinning the mouse where to scroll left or right.

Or just don't worry about the cursor and continue typing or using the piano keyboard window - the moment you enter a note, the page view moves. If you're not already using the computer or piano keyboard to enter notes, I strongly recommend it anyhow. If you are using the mouse, the mouse wheel indeed scrolls, or press 0 then backspace to enter and remove a rest, which will move the score view. Or use Continuous view, or enter vocie 1 first as is normally recommended (I sometimes enter bass into 1 first then use Tools / Voices to move it to 2).
