1: V.23.3
2: Microsoft 10
3:
Open multiple files. (4+ files)
Window -> Arrange -> 4-UP
a: Open new file into windowspace of active window.
b: Change active window between the 4-up windows.

4: Expected result-
If docked, the windowsize remain constant, unless user actively resize the window.
When shifting between active windows/workfiles, the windowsize remain constant unless user actively resize the window. Image stay at the chosen size percentage as per users setting (i.e. if it opens at 100% zoom, that's fine, but if I set it to "fit screen", or "x%" it should stay there when changing active window).
Actual result-
Every, single, time that a new active window is chosen, whether because a new file was opened, or because a new active window was chosen, the 4 windows on the screen are resized. The resize makes the active window fit as much of the physical screen (the display) as possible towards the 100% zoom view.
The image also defaults to 100% zoom. This happend everytime a new active window is chosen.


Hi,


I work with Photoshop on a daily basis. I usually work with several files open at the same time. Referencematerial as well as workfiles. 
To do so, I work with a 4-up setup.

Before the update, I would open files as I went, and move them around to the desired space I was working in. A big part of my work also involves sharing parts of muy screen as I work, meaning I need certain parts to NOT be shared. This was not a problem before, as I could share certain percentages of my screen.

However, since the update yesterday I find that anytime I switch the "active" window in Photoshop, and anytime I load a new file, it will resize the window to the max size of that particular file.
Even if the image is in a docked state.

I.e. I have four files up files on my screen. I click on one of them, and the window it is in will resize to fit the full image, at 100% size.
I activate another image, and _that_ window will resize to 100% size of that image.

Every time I click on a different imge, it will resize it to 100% and resize the workspace.

Is there any wy to avoid this? This is causing serious issues for me as it makes it difficult to actually perform my job....

Let me reiterate-
My work mean I have to share he screen on occasion. This means the shared screen is extremely confusing to clients and colleagues. It also means that sometimes things that are under NDA will/would be seen.
On top of this, it causes serious issues in my productivity as I constantly need to resize/zoom the work window.

Can I adjust this in some setting?
Is this a known problem?
Can this be fixed ASAP- I am loosing money on this!

I have the same very frustrating issue. In ANY view over 1 up, 2-4 up window view the main window pushes everything over to be smaller and smaller so in the end it is NOT 2 up or 4 up window view. This is very frustrating for retouching or anything at all to do with Photoshop. I just updated to V 23.41 and it is still an issue. Can someoen please help with this?? This is a profesional issue. Are ther new key commands we don't know of?

Glad to hear this is being worked on. It's a huge problem for me, as I tend to have 20 images open at once, and having to resize each one is a distracting and frustrating waste of time.

Great to hear this issue is being worked on. Having to see windows (tabs) changing dimensions every time you click on a different tab is annoying.

My report has _not_ been a thing for a long time. In fact, I'm currently "stuck" at 23.1 because it wasn't/isn't an issue there. Essentially, until this issue is fixed, I can't update Photoshop because it ruins my workflow too much. And the issue was not present in the version before 23.3.
