Photoshop - Rotate View Tool - Rotates but moves the image from my work area

Community Beginner ,
Apr 22, 2023 Apr 22, 2023

Hello,

I'm on an M1 Mac Mini running the most recent Photoshop. When I use the Rotate View Tool, instead of rotating the canvas and staying centered, my entire image moves out from under where I was working. Difficult to describe. My workflow is I Zoom into an area where I'm coloring, Hand Tool to center where I would like to render and then I normally use the Rotate View Tool to get a good angle to paint. The first two steps work fine but when I go to rotate it's like the compass or center point for the rotate is not the center of the area I'm working on. Is there a way to alter the postition that The Rotate View Tool uses to rotate from?

Thanks in advance,

Jeromy

If you go to Photoshop>Settings (Preferences)>Workspace, check Open Documents as Tabs then go to Window and verify Application Frame is checked, and restart photoshop does that make any difference?

Are you using Floating Document Windows?

Here's a video of the strange reorienting of the page when using the Rotate View tool.

If you want to use Floating Document Windows, go to Photoshop>Settings (Preferences)>Tools and check Overscroll

Thanks for your help first and foremost.
I want to use a floating window. I don't like the Layers, brushes, etc sticking right next to the image I'm working with. I like that separated. So "Application Frame'" in Windows takes care of the Rotate View Tool moving elsewhere after I rotate. 
But, If I check Overscroll (which I also hate) the image wonders infinitely. I don't like that.
In Photoshop 2018 none of this would happen.
Is there a way to make the Rotate View Tool "stay" where I'm working , especially in the area you zoomed in, AND with a floating window without the "Overcroll"?
