Good points, thanks for comments. Perhaps a more evident button, or a notice to the user (want to update the view?) would be enough. I have an issue in distributing print layouts: in this case the first appearance will be completely off the real map, and this can be really confusing. Maybe better to zoom at first project opening, or what a layout is added, would be useful?
All the best.

Agreed. What I found during training session is that the "zoom to map
extent" buttons are too hard to find for most users. Even some
advanced users where zooming maps with mouse scroll, not remembering
those buttons from courses.  Maybe some UI tweaking could help here.
Why not a button in toolbar?
Cheers

The current behaviour is great, but having an option to use spatial
bookmarks (to the best scale) within the composer will be ideal:

not updated

very often composer layout scale have nothing to do with canvas
workflow, it should be "static"
as the current behaviour,

+1 for what is currently there.  One of the main reasons I move
from
MapInfo to QGIS was this, annoying when you are editing and return
to
print and it's moved on you.

You mean the first time the print layout is opened
(created). If so,
yes this is the way it used to work (and I think it
still
does): at
the creation the map extent is picked from the canvas.

But imo there's no reason to have the composer map
item
extent synced
with map canvas each time it's opened.


I'm not sure this is what an user expects. IMHO the
typical
use case is: I zoom to the area and scale of interest,
open a
print layout, and go on printing the same area.
Am I the only one expecting this?


​Maybe I'm just used to the current behavior, but for most
of my
usecases the extent of the print map should stay same while I
might be busy fixing details in the main window (and thus
zooming
and panning around there).

That's why the current behavior works well for me.

(cc-ing the UX list for input)

Best wishes,
