P: View > Flip Horizontal is broken in newer versions of Photoshop

View > Flip Horizontal now flips not only your canvas, but the entire photoshop viewport, causing my canvas to jump a huge distance when I use it (unless my canvas is lined up perfectly in the middle of the screen, which it almost never is).

 

I was forced to spend my morning un-installing and re-installing older versions to try to find the working version I had been sitting on for a long time (22.4.3) which has the correct functionality for View > Flip Horizontal -- the canvas flips visually in place, without jumping across the screen.

 

Please, PLEASE fix it. I am paying for an expensive Photoshop subscription and I'd like to use new features, but I can't when necessary functionality is broken in new updates.

Hi @brettn75576555 

 

I found an internal ticket where this was done intentionally because retrouchers complained in older versions, the content they were viewing would go out of view when zoomed in and retouching.

 

Current version behavior:  https://shared-assets.adobe.com/link/199cfd46-8cfb-4575-49af-72b7fbcbbe15 Note the Captain America cup stays in the view when flipping

 

Older version behavior: https://shared-assets.adobe.com/link/e69c6785-7ca6-41fd-41a2-799b06d89d0a Note the Captain America cup goes away from the view when flipping
