1. Image-toolbar shows up and does a little shaking. I think it shouldn't, it should just appear without page repositioning

2. If you drag an image that is partially outside the screen - the app thinks you have to be pushed to that place where its part is hidden. I didn't feel or perceive any usefulness of it, but it's very inconvenient

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Place images one above the other
2. Drag an image while a part of it is outside the screen
3.

Actual Results:
It repositions the page so you disorient and can't continue working

Expected Results:
No position change


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

I select images partially outside the screen, or select and drag them, and the app thinks I have to be pushed so the image fits in the screen by all 4 corners

I don't know how others might use the app and how it can be useful to others, but I didn't like it all

For this general topic there is bug 124835

This seems like a matter of taste and use case.

Perhaps, though when you drag and need precision - such jumps aren't much helpful. It kind of disorients you. But the majority's voice should be listened to. If people generally like it - maybe it could be left as it is

Perhaps you might want to ask people out and investigate. Find out whether they enjoy and benefit from it, or it gives them pain

Your document consists of a bunch of images - and selecting an image puts this element into the view. What do you expect? (This is a rhetorical question)

I don't know, maybe for others it is helpful, but for me it wasn't. I'd rather have it not push me anywhere. I hope somebody else shares his perspective so the truth becomes apparent
