The "Fit" feature doesn't work for a composition that has been moved aside.

Question

The "Fit" feature doesn't work for a composition that has been moved aside. It works only for a composition that has been zoomed in or out:

In Illustrator the same feature works fine for both zoomed (in/out) and moved documents.

In Photoshop there is a bug which I described in this post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/the-quot-fit-on-screen-quot-feature-does-t-work-properly-for-the-moved-documents/idi-p/14277961#M97509

The "Fit" document feature:

	Zoomed document	Moved document
After Effects	OK	–
Illustrator	OK	OK
Photoshop	OK	bug

macOS v12.7.1

After Effects v24.0.3

After you moved the Comp Frame, "Fit" remained selected. Picking it again does nothing to reposition the Comp Frame. Select Fit up to 200% or use the keyboard shortcut Shift + / to re-center the comp. I think AE has always worked this way. I almost never use the mouse to recenter the Comp Frame because the keyboard shortcut is faster, can be done with one hand, and always works.
