Any chance for a fix soon? Is there a workaround?

Is there an alternative solution at the moment to fix this?

Hmmm I'm not able to recreate this issue. @Edouard-Tby can you provide a repo that recreates it?

@ghsteff, thanks for your answer, to recreate it you have to zoom in or zoom out. As you can see in the screen recording the centerGraph function will reset the zoom.

Please let me know if that is not clear.

Ah I see what you're saying. To me personally, it feels expected that if you're zoomed way in or out that centering the graph adjusts the camera position and fits the zoom nicely onto the node you're centering on. I get how that's preference tho

Maybe we can separate the functionality into centerGraph() and fitZoom() or somethin

I understand you point but in the case of large graphs, the current approach can sometimes be disorienting for the end user. We could for instance separate the functionalities as you suggest or introduce a boolean parameter, fitZoom, into the centerGraph function to enhance user experience.

This should be fixed in 4.18.0
