@CShubert According to your questions, should we understand that you are unable to reproduce the issue? 

Here are repeatable steps:

Activate overscroll in preferences>tools

While in tabbed mode,

Drag the image slightly to a side of the monitor

Hit tab.

The image is now centered.

Now, untab the image and increase its surrounding canbas, drag the image to a side, hit tab, the image does not move.

Now, hit F for fullscreen view, the image moves again.

 

What is also annoying is that the image seems to scale up and down while adjusting (cycle the F or the Tab key)

If needed one can post a video of the issue.

Hi @Wayne5EFD thank you for your post. Is this a new issue, when did you first notice this? Have you tried rolling back a version in Ps to see if this works as expected?

 

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.  

 

Thank you,

Hello, I get this behaviour only in tabbed documents, not in floating documents. (Tabbed documents behave the same way without overscroll: the document gets re-centered to the available screen area...)

I do not think that resetting the prefs would have any bearing in this case. 

I wonder if converting this thread to a feature request of a bug report is warranted, if it is as designed, but I understand why it is not wanted.

I'm converting this to a bug report.

Hi, sorry about that

I don’t have a solution, but maybe if you try to reset the preferences will work, here the instructions:
