When I use the Rectangular Marquee Tool in CS2 and drag it to the bottom of the image, the whole image pops up out of view . It does not happen in Photoshop 7.
Has anyone got any clues as how to use the tool and not have the image shoot off the workspace?
Thanks.

I asked about that not long after I got CS, because that does it too. It’s bloody annoying. I didn’t upgrade to CS2, but have never found a solution in CS.

It does with my windows v9.0.2 and v6.0.2. The complaint is that touching the edge of the image during a marquee drag operation will trigger a very rapid auto-scroll when the image is zoomed in so that the image scrollbars are active. This creates a software "mousetrap", and makes it almost impossible to select to the cheese at the edge of the window without triggering the trap, and losing the current scroll position.

Guides do not autoscroll, so one workaround is to lay down guides for the edges, then use the marquee tool to select using the guides. —
