On my laptop, I'm able to use the circle shape tool where it's drawn on the circumference, and is able to be pivoted on the "starting anchor" while growing or shrinking:
However, on my new desktop (same version of Photoshop), the circle does not pivot, and the "anchor" isn't on the circumference at all, but rather the starting value of X and Y.
How can I get my desktop circle tool to behave how it does on my laptop?

Hold down Space bar to be able to move circle. Release Space bar to continue drawing.

I wasn't aware this was an option! It's not exactly what I'm looking for, but it will absolutely save me so much time and trouble if I cannot find the exact solution I'm looking for. Thank you very much!

Hello, Mel. I am not used to the first behavior. Which laptop is it? Could there be a modifier changing the behavior? What input method are you using? Trackpad?

I'm wondering the same sort of thing. Is it a Touch behaviour with a track pad perhaps? I've never been able to make it work that way myself.

I use a Wacom Intuos tablet for both the laptop and the desktop, I simply plug it into whichever one I'm using. I don't use a trackpad or mouse for either. The laptop is a HP Envy Notebook, which I just remembered *does* have a touch-screen mode available on default (though I'd had it disabled for years because I didn't want to use my fingers and did not own a proper pen for it, so I forgot about that!).
I am glad to know this isn't a simple "toggle this option on" type of answer that I was missing. I'm glad to know that something like that, outside Photoshop itself, can possibly be activating this behavior. I will look into it!
