Research direction

Reproduce the issue in MuseScore Studio 4.6.3 on Windows 11 using Continuous view: scroll below the top, start playback, and observe behavior when playback reaches the screen edge. Trace the playback auto-scroll and score-view positioning logic; done means playback no longer unexpectedly resets the view to the top, including while scrolling during playback.
