Weird spacing on two specific systems out of a 35-page score
I am finishing a piece for two pianos and I am trying to format the pages with system and page breaks. I came across one page where the two systems absolutely refused to be touched in any way. I can select a symbol and move a pixel in any direction, and the bottom staff will jump out of the page (see attached images). The worst part is that it will stay this way even if I hit undo. What could have caused this and is there a way to stop this? I checked the properties tab and everything is at default. I'm using the latest update of Musescore 4. Below is the details of my OS and Musescore version:
OS: Windows 11 Version 2009 or later, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore Studio version (64-bit): 4.5.2-251141402, revision: ac9d3bc
Any help will be very much appreciated!

It is best to attach the score.
But first you can use Ctrl-A, Ctrl-R to reset the layout.

In your 2nd and 3rd pictures I can see dynamics that have been moved way out of place. Collision avoidance accordingly moves the staves to avoid collisions. You can either fix those individually or, as suggested above, use CTRL+A to select everything, followed by CTRL+R to reset everything to its default position. Of course, that will also reset anything that you have moved on purpose.
