Photoshop 2018 Screen Snapping Issue

Using the newly updated Photoshop 2018, the screen snaps to center with various actions, like zooming, adding a new layer etc. in "Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar". Very annoying to have screen snapping unintentionally. I typically enable "Zoom clicked point to center", but even with this feature enabled, the image still snaps to center. I'm perfectly capable of determining the position of the image on the artboard. Is there a way to disable this new center snapping feature?

      I have this issue as well, with a twist. When I go to View > Snap and uncheck the (default) Snap, it keeps turning itself back on. This is very annoying. I almost never want Snap active.

      What exact version of photoshop are you using?

      In photoshop Help>System Info and look at the top line for the photoshop version.

      What operating system are you using?

      That was supposed to have been fixed

      From the looks of the video you might be talking about a different issue.

        I've FINALLY found the solution to the problem (for me, anyway). This may help others! It's a WORKSPACE problem!! I deleted my Custom, Saved Workspace. Clicked on all the preset workspaces to see which gave me the most similar to what I'd been using. THEN FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW - but after #2, click on NEW WORKSPACE - and then continue on to #3. ESSENTIALS is now the 'Default' - which seems to have messed everything up. Once you've created your own Custom Workspace, everything should work well. At least, it did for me!

        How do you edit your workspace in Photoshop?

        Create a Customized Workspace

        1. Arrange the panels into a specific working order.
        2. Click the Workspaces menu on the Options bar, or click the Window menu, and then point to Workspace.
        3. Type a name for the workspace.
        4. Select check boxes to save Keyboard Shortcuts or Menus.
        5. Click Save. Click to view larger image.

        Please try one more thing, Gabriel ... when you've completely got your Workspace the way you want it, and named your new workspace, e.g. Feb2018, Reboot the computer. When you open PS and it's not right, click on your Feb2018 Workspace, and now go to various 'photography', etc. workspaces & click on each one until it's the way you had it in Feb2018. I did that the first time I tried all of the above and rebooted and it didn't work. Then tried this & found my Feb2018 in 'photography' instead 'elements' where I'd always created my custom Workspace before. Then when I rebooted, it continued to be OK. It's definitely a puzzle. Sorry it didn't work for you the first time! Have a good weekend, Thea

        I am having the same issue and it weirdly seems to be getting worse every day. For the amount we're paying for this, this is really not OK that it's been an issue since last year. When are you going to fix it?

        I have this issue also and since the new update when I select Full Screen Mode with Menu bar I only see a small rectangle of my file in the top left of the screen, the rest of my canvas is black. If I zoom in and out it zooms inside this rectangle only. Very annoying. Please fix this.

        Amen! The update I did just today fixed this issue as well ad the font/character panel issue I was having when using keystroke or a scroll wheel to adjust the pixel size.  SO happy now

        I'm having the same problem it's driving me INSANE.  Also, I'm not even using CC 2018 (because the place Linked Smart Object with Option+Shift to drop in the center feature was lost).....so I've been back on CC 2017 and everything has worked beautifully until this switching screen modes auto-recenters/snaps or whatever is becoming a major problem.  especially for someone who has constantly been cycling through screen modes for the entirety of my photoshop related life.  This "bug" makes me lose where I am because I can't switch out of full screen without losing my zoom-spot !!!

        Like others have posted, this bug is seriously annoying & is hampering my work. Adobe please get this sorted ASAP. Not cool to sleep on this for so long.
