Shifting view when point is selected

Glyphs
#1

I understand it keeps the selected point in the same position while shifting everything else around. I’ve never found this to be useful, only annoying:

  • Not all my layers are compatible, and then the view shifts in an arbitrary way
  • I want my view to remain static to compare two masters, not jump around, I don’t know what kind of useful comparison this does.
#2

If the layers are not compatible, it should not shift.

#3

right, but going from light to black, for example, even when they are compatible shifts way too much…

#4

Possible to make an option to turn off the view shifting? Now I have to unselect the point on both layers.

#5

With the next update, you can do this:

Glyphs.boolDefaults["GSCenterSelectionOnMasterSwitch"] = False
