Switching tabs does not remember screen position when outside canvas bounds - Photoshop CC 21

When working with multiple tabbed documents, switching between them does not remember the screen position of the previous document if that position includes areas outside of the canvas bounds. The screen position "snaps" to the visible canvas edge. This behavior was not in Photoshop CC 20, or was at least off my default.

Is there a setting to change this back?

This has become an issue for me since updating Photoshop CC23. I'm not sure why this bug exsists (or if it is a bug) but it becomes really inconvienent when I'm trying to draw.
Here's hoping that someone may have found a solution to this.

ADOBE needs to fix this - it is a bug.

Still an annoying issue... when zoomed in and needing to go between two or more docs, switching back to doc and the canvas moves is not helpful...

Sorry for replying to an old post but this has bothered me for sometime. This bug (although it might be intentional for whatever reason) started with Photoshop 2020. All versions before that never had this issue.

There is a workaround... Clicking on the scrollbar, will jog Photoshops memory and your screen position, with an out of bounds area, will return. You have to click on the appropriate bar. So if it's a horizontal position, you click on the bottom bar. If it's vertical, you click on the right bar. If you click on the wrong bar, it will punish you and forget the position. However, if you use both horizontal and vertical it will only remember one of the other.

I'm just curious why PS did this and if there is a setting to restore it back to normal, without having to click on the scrollbar.
