I recently upgraded to Finale 25.4 and a couple of annoying little foibles have returned:
1. [Page Up] used to go from the top of a page to the bottom of the previous page. It no longer does that. Ditto [Page Down]. I have to use [Ctrl - Page Up] which sometimes takes me to page one and sometimes to the prior page.
2. When editing the final measure it once again adds a blank measure to the end of the score. I think there was a way to stop that but I cannot find it.

I would appreciate some help.
Thank you.

1. The behaviour of Navigation keys hasn't changed, but the function does vary depending on whether you're in Page View or Scroll View.
In Page View, Page Up and Down moves the display by a full screen's worth. CTRL-Page moves the display by a "paper" page. Your Zoom Size and View Style may confuse the issue.
The Help Page for Page View lists all the keyboard shortcuts.

2.Simple Entry Options has a checkbox for creating new measures.

Thanks, BT, for your reply.
1. How do I go from the bottom of one page to the top of the next? It used to be that [Page Down] would do exactly that. Now it does as you described, i.e. it goes to the bottom of the next.

As far as I know and can tell, the functions haven't changed. Look at the Help Page for Page View to see all the various key presses.
