Vertical frame of the lyrics
I add a vertical frame to enter lyrics.
If I increase the frame size (to receive hypothetical lyrics) it migrates to the next page.
If I reduce it, return to the previous page but upside down.
(See attachment)
It would be possible to limit the reduction? Maybe until to one sp from the upper side?

It may help to know how do you increase the size.
Referring to your screen shot, of course, there is no way to 'squeeze' into page 2 a frame whose size is larger than the remaining blank space.
For instance through the Inspector, it is possible to edit several frame parameters (height, above and below gap) and achieve the max size which actually fits.

I believe those 3 images are meant to be series of steps, 1. append a frame 2. increase that frame 3. shrink it.
I can, however, not reproduce that behavoir

After compiling a score, and added the various stanzas, sometimes I want to lay out differently.
Probably I do not use the correct method, usually I double click on the frame and drag the handle with the mouse (or use the arrow up / down to precise movements).
I opened a score starting from SATB + Organ, I deleted the bass clef from Organ and added the frame. It contains no lyrics, but the behavior is similar.
Attached an example.
I can control layout but it would be useful, in my opinion, an anchor (or to understand my mistake).

I can reproduce using the posted score. Let me see if I can summarize the steps:
1) double click frame at bottom of page
2) start dragging downward
At the moment it enters the bottom margin, MuseScore realizes it cannot fit and the frame is moved to the next page. But it doesn't preserve the *size* of the frame when it mvoes to the new page - it preserves the *bottom position*. So it now takes up the whole second page. This only happens with *drag* as opposed to keybaord or Inspector adjustment, because when dragging it is reading the position of your mouse on the page, and sure enough, your mouse is at the bottom of the page.
So now the frame is too big, and you start dragging upwards. Once the frame gets small enough to fit on the previous page, it goes back, but again, if you are *dragging* rather than using the keyboard or Inspector adjustment, it reads your mouse position on the page - which at this point is near the top of the page - with a result that you get an "upside down" box as described and pictured.
I guess if the page changes in the middle of a drag operation, we should somehow recalculate the mouse position based on the current size of the element being resized, or something like that.
But in any case, the workaround is simple - don't use drag to adjust the size of vertical frames in situations where this could happen.

Ah, I indeed used the arrow keys and could not reproduce
