So I've been using Gimp for a long time and use it to make digital drawings and minor edits and such...
When on 2.8 I used to zoom out and let the image recenter itself when I needed to look at the overall image
but now in 2.10 that doesn't happen anymore
I have to center the image myself which annoys me
because I'm so used to just zooming out with the mouse wheel
and the image centering itself and not being off to the side or something.
Did they remove this feature or is it a bug?
... Or do I need to tweak something in my settings?
P.S. I operate Gimp in a full-screened, single-windowed mode.

Hi horse14t.
Welcome to Gimp Chat.
I'm still using Gimp 2.8 and will continue to do so,
until most of the bugs in 2.10 have been fixed.
This is probably a shot in the dark,
but have you tried using Gimp in "window mode",
to see it the centering feature works?

Since then AFAIK the ctrl + rotate-scroll-wheel combination has always centered on the mouse cursor.
In Gimp 2.10.2 try this ctrl + center-mouse-key Most mouse will use the scroll wheel depressed as a key.
Click in the canvas, cursor becomes magnifying glass, drag to zoom-in / zoom-out Very quickly centers the image.
The difference from Gimp 2.8? ctrl + center-mouse-key pans the image.

Agreed man! It's annoying to take an automatic feature and suddenly make it manual with no option to make it automatic again.jma777 wrote:I also find this change from 2.8 to 2.10 an annoying time waster. Ctrl-J is also unsatifactory since at least in non-full-screen-mode, which I use, it shrinks the window down to "hug" the 100%-size image. There seems to be no key shortcut to go to 100%, center, and leave the window as-is.
