Fit Screen to Actual Pixels Hand Tool Blues

Hmm. If you have the image Fit to Screen then of course the hand tool will not work. The hand tool will only "move" the image to show parts that are outside the viewing boundry. You do not have any parts outside the viewing boundry under your conditions.

Why, when I go from "Fit Screen" to "Actual Pixels" and then activate the "Hand Tool" Via holding the Space Bar, can I not pan the bloody photo!!! If I zoom out and back it it works?!!! Arrrrghhhh. It does this in PS7 and CS!!! Is there a fix?

Except in CS where you can hit F and get a full screen that CAN be moved around with the hand tool regardless of zoom. Very nice feature.

No no no. You’re in "Fit Screen" THEN you go to Actual Pixels (i.e. 100%) and it refuses to pan.

Arrgh I figured it out. When you click on the "Actual Pixels" button at the top of the program the "focus" in Windows stays with the button, pressing the Space Bar key presents the cursor (as documented by Adobe) as the Hand Tool BUT also toggles the "Actual Pixels" button up and down at the same time because Windows hasn’t release the focus on that object. It’s trying to do two things at once. Can you say BUG.
