this could be a suggestion, but for now it's a problem that's driving me crazy : how do you turn off that damn "bird's eye view" option? It's activating when i hit the space bar at certain magnifications and jumps out and disorients me. it's so annoying it's not true. it may be a good tool when someone specifically requests to use it, but otherwise we should either have the option to disable it, or disable it for the Space bar only. Seriously, this "feature" makes me seethe, it totally ruins my productivity as i'm set working at a particular area/magnification then instead of being able to scroll w/ the Space bar as we always did, the view jumps out jarringly and sometimes seems to change the tool i'm working w/ too.

PLEASE, give us an option to disable it.
TIA.

Has the preference option been implemented? Both of my PS CS5 and CS6 still have this problem. And it is really bothersome.

Apparently, this problem still exists in CS6. It really annoying. and I am surprised it got no attention from the team.

Please remove bird's eye view effect. Like the author said, its very very annoying. There should be an option to remove it.

Here's a way to reproduce this glitch: while zoomed, hold down ANY tool shortcut you're not currently using (i.e. hold B while you have Clone Stamp selected) and, at the same time, try to use the spacebar pan. There's your bug.

As I understand it, the birds eye zoom should only be activated by H, but it's getting activated by any combination of shortcuts and spacebar.
This is surely a bug and it's still present in CS6.

Hey, just wondering about the status on this bug. I've had this problem on two different computers running Windows 7 64 bit and it's really starting to affect my workflow.

I'd appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks!

Thanks. I'll see if we have that hardware/software combo. May be tricky to repro if we don't.
