Perhaps I misread Debbys concern entirely possible. I was just considering moving the 2d screen with the Hand Tool to simply view an object that was out of the viewing range for location purposes. Ive never had any issues with distortion? I dont try to use these tools for camera viewport modification, just for 2d movements.

Same goes for the Zoom to Selection dont modify, and zoom back, how can that distort the view Ive never had any problems?
