P: Floating document windows in fullscreen w/menu bar causes window to jump to center

[Contributor943]

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 did not work for me. I tried the document tabs and application frame. But it still snaps to center.

Probably the same issue here. Mac Pro 2013, Sierra OS, tabs swiched off.

When zooming, the image suddently centers. It happens at a certain zoom level, when the width of the image is being shown smaller than the width of display. This happens only in the second 'F' (no windows but menus), and doesn't happen in the third 'F', without menus.  It seems the windowed mode is fine.

I have Scrubby Zoom switched off, but tried to switch it on and this still happens.

I don't want to use tabs - which do indeed help it. Tried ticking and unticking 'Zoom Clicked Point to center', doesn't work. Having application frame doesn't help.

In the newest update (2018), there's this new zoom center snap that moves my canvas to the center of the document window anytime I resize the window. I can't seem to find the option to disable it. It is especially irritating in Full Screen Mode because it just does it anytime I pan without resizing the window (since it's full screen). I can't seem to find the option to disable this.

I'm an artist/illustrator and very often am panning/zooming around the page while I draw/paint. This snap is very irritating as it shifts me off the spot I'm working on.

As of now there is no solution but to use TABS. Better get used to it, guys.
In "Preferences," click "Workspace," then tick "Open documents as tabs."
Press F or "View," "Screen Mode," tick "Full screen mode with Menu Bar."
And VIOLA!

The best solution for me was to re-install Photoshop CC 2017.
Adobe Creative Cloud -> Photoshop CC -> Other Versions -> CC 2017.

I also re-installed The 2017 version. I have tried The tab/application fix but it is not working on my Mac.

Tabs does not work - no matter what I do - snap centre is always on. THIS IS INSANE !

This piece of s!!!t, no working neither with tabs. Went back to the older version 2017 until this stupid bug is fixed. Its frustrating and annoying. Lets see how many months of subscription goes to the trash.

This is so strange, I'm working from several days with Tabs + Application frame and the problem is completely solved. OS X El capitan.

[Beeglowbot]

Maybe the OS matters? I'm on Sierra (10.12.6)

[baadtaste]

I'm also on Capitan. Have solved the problem by downgrading since the bug makes it totally impossible to work.

Also I'm on OS Sierra. Anyways, i chose to downgrade the photoshop rather than the Operating System. The older version of photoshop (cc 2017) works fine.

The only thing worked to resolved this issue is going back to Photoshop 2017

[matthewt66760992]

Here is the fix that @eartho posted that works.


But, I'm not a fan of having Appication Frame on though. 

[greenkawasaki]

I'm having the same issue, and it's very annoying. Please don't center on zoom. Adobe, please provide a fix ASAP.

Thanks for staying on this topic, Tom!  I hope they resolve this soon!

Ever since I've done the latest update to PS CC, I've noticed that my image jumps around upon saving.  It's seem to be resetting to the centre position on the screen.  As well, the image sometimes flickers when saving, preventing me from working while saving. 

Anyone else having this issue? 

Thanks!

[baadtaste]

Like I said before - its nice when it works  - but is does not work on my machine 😉

Patch your Photoshops. 11/14 patch released today seemed to have fixed it. So far anyway, hope I'm not too overzealous in posting this. Just really really glad lol.

Just installed the update and I still have the centred zoom problem...

I'm seeing some improvement—working smoothly and at is it should when I simply spacebar and give the image a little nudge one way or another.  But, when I give it a full scubby zoom—spacebar+command or +option—I get mixed results: choppy, flickering image and attempts at auto-centering.

I'm happy to see things improving (I've now reinstalled, and will keep working with 2018), but still BADLY need the scrubby zoom working properly again.

Sounds like there's improvement, but I think I'll wait until the next update to go back to 2018.
Glad to know they're working on it!

[Beeglowbot]

Yea I'm seeing some jittery snaps too, now that I'm mid way into the work day. Definite improvement but still very clunky at times.

Todays update is installed and it has fixed the y center alignment snap on Full Screen Mode With Menu Bar but the x center alignment snap still remains. Almost there.

In other words, don't upgrade. Sticking with 2017, still.
