PS CC 2021 opens new files in cropped window

OK so starting earlier in October 2021 my Photoshop CC 2021 (Mac OS 10.14.6 Mojave iMacPro) opens all new files in a window that is roughly 1/4th the size of the whole file. (see attached file) Over the last 20 years or so, Photoshop has always opened all files as "fit to screen" meaning they usually open showing the entire image in a window as large as possible that still fits on whatever monitor size I have...I am not sure if it is a preference that has gone haywire or a bug...Please advise

    You'll have to choose which behavior you prefer or you can set up a Script Event to set the document the way you want with Overscroll enabled: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/fit-on-screen-automatically-in-photoshop/m-p/10576298 

    Photoshop used to default with "Overscroll" off. In recent versions, this setting was set to on.

    I have this same problem with Photoshop 2022 – and turning off the Overscroll preference makes no difference whatsoever.

     

    Has anyone found a fix for this?  It is seriously irritating when I'm constantly opening files in Photoshop and having to take that extra step of zooming in or out to get the window to fit to the image.

      Same here. This was never an issue until either PS vs 23.0.2 or Apple OS Monterey. Both came onboard at the same time.

      If you go to Preferences > Tools... and uncheck "Overscroll" does it work correctly?

      Wait, sorry, that did do something. It still opens new images in the cropped window but the including of the artboard in the entire image is now gone. So when I I hit Command-0 and have the whole image showing, there are no longer scroll bars (see attached)
