Question

Switching between opened files always aligns top of image to top of window

I'm sure this is a new "feature" and not a bug, but it's another anoying one. It seems more common in recent years for changes to interrupt my work flow. 😞   I've noticed recently that when I have multiple files open, and I switch between them, that the top of the image is aligned with the top of the window, no matter where I've scrolled. I typically like to have a bit of space above the top of the image, if I'm working in that section, as having the tabs and other things up there butting up against the image is distracting. It also seems to adjust horizontally, lining up the edge that was previously off the visible area to the edge of the visible area. This is frustrating. Wouldn't it make much more sense to leave things where a user has put them? Someone could make my day if they told me there was a setting somewhere I could check a box for that would disable this behavior.

In Photoshop go to Edit>Preferences>Tools and uncheck Overscroll and see if that corrects the issue.

Unfortunately it did not. I've scrolled through the settings sections but am unable to find anything that seems to relate to it.

A screenshot or two here would really help us to understand what you're talking about.

I'm seeing the same issue here on my Mac and can't find any settings to change the behavior. There's a similar "feature" in the layers panel where the position jumps around when changing open docs. I've been begging them to fix this for years and nothing's changed, so i wouldn't hold my breath for this one to change either.
