Research direction

Reproduce the issue by opening any score in MuseScore 4.0.0 and switching to Continuous View, then inspect the Continuous View layout and scrolling behavior. Done means horizontal scrolling stops at the staff's left edge, while vertical scrolling stops at the first staff's top and last staff's bottom.
