Question

Switching documents in full-screen mode positions them very off-center

With two or more documents open, and working in full screen mode (either one), with palettes on or off, ⌘` switching between documents results in the documents being positioned wildly off-center. If the canvas is big enough, it'll be partly off-screen. It also doesn't seem to scale linearly... increasing the height of a canvas by 600 pixels only results in a shift in position upward of ~150 pixels.

This only happens on my external display, and isn't affected by changing the resolution. The horizontal resolution of the two displays is the same, as well, so it doesn't seem like it's using one display resolution to center for both of them.

The documents will recenter if I first do ⌘0, (with a noticeable 'jump' while it zooms in) and then ⌘⌥0 to get back to actual size. I often switch back and forth between documents, though, and this is severely disrupting my workflow.

I have a similar issue with Full Screen Mode With Menus using external display.

Cintiq 22" (Non Touch) Pen Display

MAC OS Sierra 10.12.1

Using Adobe CC 2018 19.1.0

THE PROBLEM

WHEN I GO TO FULL SCREEN MODE (With Menus) the canvas is aligned to the upper left, when it is supposed to be automatically centered. Recentering isn't possible unless I got to Full Screen Mode without Menu. It's disorienting and a little hard to explain. Image attached. The only other thing I can tell you is that it's a CC 2018 update. Never had this issue before. Haven't changed my OS in a year.

It might be more useful to provide exact technical info instead of ominously speaking about "external display" and so on. to be blunt, based on your post we know squat, which makes it impossible to assist even based on a crude guess.

It could be a graphics driver issue.
