How to stopPowerpoint recentering view during object edit?

Hughmn

I'm using large freeform shapes to add colour fill to diagrams. When the
object is partly offscreen, e.g. when zoomed in to edit points more
precisely, Powerpoint 2007 keeps recentering the view to the centre of the
object. Often as not this moves the area being edited offscreen! How can I
turn this "helpful" feature off?! Never used to happen with Office xp Pro.

Hi Hugh

Annoying isn't it? I'm afraid it's a bug :-(
