How to prevent panning during brush near edge? [2017]

I'm drawing straight lines with the brush tool by holding down shift while brushing. This works great except when my brush gets near the edge of the screen photoshop pans the canvas, messing up my screen recording of the drawing. Here's an example:

 

 

Is there any way to either:

  • lock the canvas scroll position?
  • disable panning while brushing?
  • disable the canvas extension so there are no scrollbars at all?

 

This is driving me nuts, hope somebody knows a workaround!

OK I've got it.  That auto-scroll thing, but I have always thought that was an operating system thing because I thought I'd come across the same behaviour in other applications.  I tried

Turning off Overscroll in Preferences.

Both states of the keyboard scroll lock.

Locking the layer's position.

Toggled the Windows (I know the OP is using a Mac) Inactive Window scrolling in mouse settings

Sorry, I couldn't stop it happening

Has anyone checked the Feedback site to see if it has been raised before?


Hi Trevor

I did a quick check on the feedback site and didn't turn anything up.

This is still a problem in photoshop v25.

When drawing in fullscreen (100% screen size), the linetool offsets the canvas, when you get to close to the edge of the image.  Just make a lock canvas option, next to lock workspace.

This was driving me nuts too. Is this not the Overscroll feature? It can be turned off in Preferences > Tools.

I have same problem. Drawing in fullscreen, really annoys.

You could use Floating Document Windows.

Photoshop CC>Preferences>Workspace and uncheck Open Documents as Tabs

or with an already tabbed document go to Window>Arrange>Float in Window

The image will still pan, but since Floating Document Windows won't overscroll it will only pan to the edge of your image.

Just don't check Overscroll in the Preferences>Tools.

I really appreciate everyone trying to help figure this out!

Jeff: that almost works, but as soon as you go View > Screen Mode > Full Screen Mode then the pan behavior comes back.

Trevor & Terry: the pan behavior happens in Full Screen Mode even when your document is not zoomed in. Once brush gets close to edge of the photoshop app, it pans like crazy :/

I can't make that happen on CC and Windows 10.

Does the cursor change to the Hand tool when this happens?

Are you using mouse or tablet, or does it happen with both?

Is the canvas larger than your screen?

Do you hold down the Shift key after you place the cursor, or before you start the stroke?

I am wondering if it is to do with a Preference setting.  I tried turning off Over scroll which made no difference.  I see you are using a Mac.  Does it have the Touch Bar?

Cursor doesn't change. Happens with both mouse and tablet. The canvas is the same size as the screen, or slightly smaller. Happens regardless of click/shift or shift/click order. I just confirmed that it happens on my windows 10 machine as well. So long as you're holding shift with the Brush tool (or pencil) as soon as you get about 40 pixels from the edge, it pans the whole document.
