How To Prevent The Canvas From Moving Around Due To Accidental Scrolling?


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

On Affinity Photo, even when the Canvas size is set to Zoom to Fit the scrollbars still appear on the right and bottom. If you accidentally scroll your mouse wheel or drag an object a bit too much the canvas starts moving around. This can be extremely annoying. Is there any way to remove/hide/disable scrollbars when the entire canvas or picture is visible? On PS, the scrollbars don't appear when Fit to Screen is selected and this problem doesn't occur.

There's got to be a solution for this problem. Please help. :(

I am using Windows 10.

Never mind Aad, I have actually found the solution. The scroll bars can't be turned off but the problem only happens if i) I am using  the Hand tool and unnecessarily scrolling and moving around (ie. drag pan view) OR i) I am  dragging the object way too far and it begins to get out of window view. (I am using a small laptop so that happens often). 

Especially the second problem happened quite often. I am now more careful while dragging around objects and the problem hasn't recurred again. I think I will be able to manage this workflow perfectly fine. :) 

But yeah I need a bigger monitor for sure.
