I can no longer tolerate this in Powerpoint 2007. When adjusting a freeform
shape point by point, each adjustment snaps the view to the centre of the
object. The point you were editing is now off screen and you have to go look
for it. This didn't happen in 2003 version. What used to take seconds now
takes many minutes. What a stupid behaviour this is. Microsoft's help
database is useless on this. Anyone got a fix? Many thanks

It's a known bug with no fix or workaround. Yes, it's annoying as hell.
We're all hoping Microsoft will fix it in the next service pack or a patch
or something.
