Photoshop CC 2018- How to turn off the recentering in full screen mode ?

Hello
When I work in full-screen mode (F), I want to move my workspace with the hand (space). Since the update is impossible to move easily. The workspace is recenter automatically.

For example if I want to work details, I zoom to 200% and use the full screen mode. I want to move the window to the left for work on the right side of my drawing, but photoshop automatically re-centers the workspace. And I can't see my work anymore. This new default setting is very painful.

How to turn off the recentering of the workspace in full screen mode ?

Thank you

Best regards

    Adobe just released an update (19.1.0) and the issue has been resolved. Finally!

    Same problem here! Please fix asap, Adobe! This is utterly frustrating!

    Hi everyone,

    I just spoke with a customer service rep and was told this issue is fixed in 19.1 which should be released "very soon."

    Could just be blowing smoke, but hopefully the end to this irritating glitch is coming. It's maddening.

    It is now January 2018 and I can no longer zoom in on a section of my file without being recentered.  This is incredibly disruptive to my work flow.  What's up with the fix?

    I'm really hoping this was an accident and not intentional UX design...or i'm even more worried about your UX team being so destructive to the consumer's experience.

    PLEASE FIX THIS ALREADY

    This doesn't happen for me. I can drag my image anywhere and click layers as often as I want and it doesn't re-centre.

    Edit - Preferences - Tools - Overscroll (checkbox).

    Just curious: if you uncheck Overscroll, does the problem as described here occur to you as well?

    Just like too add my frustration and disappointment at the auto-centering with the latest photoshop update - really messing up my workflow. A fix sooner rather than later would be much appreciated.

    Feel free to add your vote and voice to the thread there so you can be notified of when a fix is released.

    I've just updated to PS 19.0.1 this morning. This is the third update since this problem began, and I am disappointed (again) to claim that the problem persists. I would downgrade to 2017 in a heartbeat if the IT here allowed it.

    PLEASE FIX.

    Adobe wake up! Do you treat your customer seriously? We have a studio full of people here, being affected by that bug. It's beyond irritating that nothing has been done since October. At this moment looks like the only option is to revert to the 2017 version.

    Or am I misunderstanding you?

    It only happens if an edge of the image is visible, and then it'll always try to recentre the image on screen.

    If you're zoomed in enough not to be able to see the edge of the image, it's ok.

    Infuriating.

    Still no problems, I've had it allover the place zoomed in and out, half off the screen and 90% off,  clicking layers and using tools and it stays where I put it. Apart from overscroll (and performance) the only other things I've changed is to legacy documents, turned off interface borders, eye dropper to precise and have a custom workspace. Not sure why it doesn't happen to me.

    Must be like Smilex products in burton's Batman where certain combinations are bad or something

    I only updated to CC 2018 yesterday (Mac) and this has been driving me nuts too!

    I'm relieved it's not just me and that it's a recognised bug.

    Every time I try to do anything, my image recentres itself so that half the time, the area I'm working on is then hidden behind my palettes, if zoomed in at all.

    I too am going to have to go back to CC 2017 as this is doing my head in!  (as we say in London..)

    I see that M Shaw replied to this thread in October saying there would be a fix for this soon, so is there any progress on this at all??
