Zoom tool - Annoying box

[Dalkarls]

Hi! First post on this forum and I would love if someone could help me out on this little problem which I asume is an easy fix but I dont know what to look for since I dont know what it is called.

If I zoom and holding down spacebar to move over the picture (I'm on a PC btw) it sometimes zoomes out in a rectangle/squarebox which let me move around until I realese it again and it zooms in. This is making me mad! It feels like it's something happening on random and I guees checking the "Scrubby zoom" off will get rid of it? But I like the function to hold and zoom which I dont want to lose by unchecking "Scrubby zoom". I think it's called something like quick-look? But it gives no hits on goole either so it can't be right.

Does anyone recognise my problem? Is there a way to work around this?
(I added a pic trying to give a better idea what I'm struggling with. And yes, i drawed that very realistic hand.)

I'm currently working in PS CS5.

It would make my day if someone would have has a fix for this!

Thanks in advance!

Try as I might, I couldn't replicate your problem.

It's not a guaranteed fix, but try resetting your PS preference ... http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum...hings-just-arent-working-right.html#post78696

Thanks dv8_fx, I will give it a try but a coworker have the same problem which makes me think it just cant be my PS that is acting weird? But I will reset the settings and get back with the results!

Hi Christoffer,

Could you please provide more details.

A shortcut zoom for a PC is: Control + Spacebar + Mouseclick (move mouse right or left to zoom)

Your example shows the HAND TOOL which is: Spacebar + Mouseclick.

Are you trying to move the image or zoom in on the image?
