With the new release, the zooming mechanism has changed and it always behaves as if "Zoom Clicked Point to Center" was turned on when I am using keyboard shortcut (mapped to Wacom Pen). It works as expected when I'm zooming with scroll wheel.
I am happy to announce that this issue should be resolved in the release of Photoshop that just went live, 19.1. Please open your Creative Cloud desktop app, update Photoshop and give us feedback.
Having the same problem and the "zoom clicked..." is not checked. The issue only happens in the "fullscreen with Menu bars" mode. In fullscreen (the second "F") in works as it should.
I noticed that if I have "enable floating document window docking" checked in preferences, and I actually then have the file docked, all 3 view modes when hitting "F" key do not show this problem.
When I drag the file to be "un-docked" or "floating", then use the 2nd view mode when toggling "F"(full screen while still showing toolbar and other panels), this issue appears when doing opt/shift zoom many use. This happens with both wacom pen and using non-wacom mouse. Using the space bar feature to drag any direction over document, does not present this problem & seem to be fine.
Thanks, guys. It seems like you need to have Application Frame turned on, which is really annoying on the Mac. Hopefully, the update with a fix is imminent.
Same here. it happens in the full screen mode with menu bar for me. I can't figure out how to make it stop center when zoom out or selecting an object. Really frustratiting. Didn't happened before the 2018 update. Im working in a mac pro computer with macOs Sierra.
I had to revert back to the old version of Photoshop and now I'm always going to wait at least 6 months before upgrading to new versions because Adobe has glitches with every new version they release. I can't deal with the flaws and poor beta testing.
Solved setting in Preferences/Workspace “Open documents as tabs” and Window/Application frame. After reopening the file all the 3 view "F" modes are working fine. I’m on Mac Pro with El Capitan.
Seems like Application Frame is enough to prevent the center snapping. This will have to do for now, even though now I can't float any other app's window behind Photoshop for reference. Thanks Paolo!
In my experience also the document in tab is necessary. I agree, Tom, Application frame is uncomfortable but I put a key shortcut to switch off it when I want. Hoping Adobe is fixing all this.
