I don't know if this is necessarily a bug or just an oversight but whenever I'm working in the last beat of the last measure of a line of music (I encountered this when working with solo piano) when zoomed in enough where I cannot see the next measure, the viewable area automatically shifts to the next measure. This makes writing out notes with multiple pitches especially frustrating.

It's not a bug if you mean, after entering the last note. This is normally what one wants because normally after entering the last note of a measure, the next thing you want to do is enter notes into the next measure. But in the special case of piano music, that's not always true, and that's why we provide Continuous view, in which this issue won't come up because everything is one system, as well as the toolbar button to disable the "Pan score automatically" feature.
If you have a suggestion for another feature that would provide a different solution to the problem, it can certainly be considered as well. But probably best to discuss this in the forum first to get input from other users on what would work best for them. I think you'll find for most people, the two methods already provided are sufficient.
