Score "jumps" to the right when the last beat visible is filled.
Love MuseScore and probably not using more than 10% of the features. I make my own piano renditions of pop songs. I use all ten fingers. And the whole piano keyboard.
When entering notes, upon filling the last beat of the last visible measure, my entire score "jumps" to the right such that the last filled measure is no longer visible. This happens in both "page" and "continuous" views. This is annoying because every time it happens I then need to drag the score to the right to see what I just entered. It is especially annoying with multiple staves and upon filling one it all jumps. The annoyance stems from losing my train of thought, as I literally lose the "picture" and so the "sound" in my head all stops.
Is there any way to either not have it automatically "jump" when a measure is filled - I would still be dragging but now to the left and only pragmatically, similar to how I would if doing this on paper! - or to have it only jump one measure? I have looked in the handbook but not found a reference and am not even sure how to search for this topic. (For reference, I hope I have described the issue in enough detail that you can understand my complaint!)
Peace! Let the band play on!

uncheck if you want the view to remain stationary.

Thanks. This is not the issue. (Problem occurs when entering notes manually, not during playback.)
After it jumps, just press the Left arrow key rather than try to drag anything. This simply moves back to the previous note ... and in your situation, the said "previous note" is the last note in the last measure of the previous system.

That will be helpful, to be sure. But it doesn't solve the issue. Still, thanks. I knew that there must be some way to do this but had not yet "accidentally" hit the L/R arrow to discover it. Mostly I just try to stay "natural". (I'll show myself out.)
