Details:
I've found a lot of bugs lately haven't I? (o_O)
Reseting the view is based on the center of the painting, not the center of
the canvas. Since the canvas is essentially infinite, this may not actually be
a bug, but a workaround.
-Expected:
Painting something usually requires you to move the view of the canvas at
some point. I would expect that "reseting the view" would make the view
exactly the same as it was when you first made the new image. I would expect
the default view to remain the same regardless of where the painting is.
-What happens:
When reseting the view, it centers in the middle of the painting instead of
where it was when you first made the image.
-How to replicate:
I know this sounds confusing. Try it yourself to see what I mean.
1) Make a new image. Don't move the canvas. Go into fullscreen mode.
Fullscreen makes it easier to see the effect.
2) Using a small, opaque brush, trace the edges of the screen. Again, don't
move the canvas while doing this. You should now have a border the size of
your screen.
3) Move, rotate, or mirror the canvas as much as you want; reseting the view
whenever you feel like it. You'll notice that every time you reset, you always
have the border in the same place, around your screen.
4) Outside of the border you've made, paint a line anywhere.
5) Now reset. You'll notice that the "reset" view has moved.
Like I said, this might not be a bug, but it seems counter-intuitive.
