Image placement in Photoshop

I recently placed an image in Photoshop, the image disappears when I move it off the canvas. This didn't happen in previous versions of Photoshop, the image was visible outside the canvas. Can I change this in preferences or is this a Photoshop update I'll have to live with?

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

I don't recall ever being able to see a layer that was dragged off the canvas. The only ways that I can are to use the crop tool, and that shows what is outside the canvas. Or use reveal all, but that will change your canvas size. Using transform also sort of works, but that just shows the outline of the layer.

As Chuck says. Nothing has ever been visible outside the canvas, unless you expand the canvas to include it.
Yes, it's still there, there can be content outside the canvas boundary - but you don't see it.
