CS 6 Image Windows Don't Stay Where I Put Them

May 16, 2012 7:01 PM

I installed CS 6 yesterday.  My system runs 64 bit Win 7.  In Preferences > Interface, as I did in CS 5, I unchecked both Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window.  However, unlike CS 5, in CS 6 images 'insist' on positioning themselves in the upper left corner of CS 6 and will cover both the options bar and the tool bar.  For example, this will happen after opening an image if I try to move it or if I enlarge the image window (CTRL-0).  If I open two images and try to move one so I can see both at the same time, the one I try to move will not stay where I put it but instead will reposition itself to the upper left, and cover the options bar and menu bar.

 

As you might image, this makes working in CS 6 difficult and inconvenient.  I assume this is a bug, and wonder if there are any workarounds or other solutions.  To this point, I have not yet uninstalled and re-installed CS 6.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Best regards,

 

David

    There is a solution, but I can't remember what it was.  Was aired about 5? days ago.

     

    If I remember correctly the windows kept moving up in the window each time he zoomed in.

     

    Maybe it will come to me latter.

    That's a known glitch in cs6 if you have the taskbar on the top or left on the desktop.

     

    The workaround until it's fixed is to either auto-hide the taskbar or move it to the bottom of right side of the desktop.

    I really, really, really hate the taskbar on the bottom.

     

    Can we assume you hate the Auto-Hide feature even worse?  That's what I use with my Taskbar on top.  No problem with window positioning.
