Currently, if you fully zoom out a map, it's placement gets pulled hard to the left (and upward). This is a visual and usage mess, that should be more free. Why the problem (likely) exists. It's important to not lose the map, and this is a small, but important, consideration. Currently, Roll20 succeeds excellently at this! Thank you. There may be additional considerations due to the right edge being less well defined. Why this even matters. Zooming out is important for getting a good, large scale view of the map, and the value of this shouldn't be overlooked. How does the issue impact players? Pulling the map to left draws it toward the tool set and it's menus, maximizing overlap. This also maximizes the overlap with player icons, disrupting the purpose of zooming out The cluttering of these elements is especially felt when there is a large amount of unused screen space in the center and right of the screen. Better centering would also create a better experience with the right-side panel (for grabbing/placing assets or referencing some rolls to points on the map). What are options for target behavior? Option 1: Just center the map in the board space at low zoom This still rigidly satisfies keeping the map well and fully on screen. It much better utilizes the screen space (I would argue not optimally, but still significant). it's also the most similar to the current implementation. Option 2: Allow panning, but do not let fully visible maps clip off screen at all. In other words, prevent action that forces the map to clip off screen at all. This may be complicated and detrimental in other ways- a zoomed in map has to abide by different logic, and there may be some weird edge cases. Option 3: Allow panning and partial clipping off screen. This is the simplest rule, and consistent with a high or low level of zoom. Ensure that enough of the map (certain pixel length in 2 adjacent sides) is visible on screen to be identified. Users may need to adjust, but they will not become lost and will ultimately maximize the usage of screen space for their consideration. This is my preferred outcome.
