Research direction
Reproduce the issue in MuseScore Studio using Properties > Text > Font with a selected text or title object, then compare PageUp and PageDown behavior with MuseScore 3.x. Trace the dropdown or list navigation handling for these keys and verify that repeated PageUp/PageDown presses move through the menu in the standard order without odd jumps.
