How to stop JOSM view shifts while drawing ways

2	When I'm drawing a way, each node I add causes the view to re-center on that node. It's driving me crazy! How do I stop this? josm asked 20 Aug '19, 18:51 Jfact0ry 366●17●18●31 accept rate: 0%

This is called "Viewport Following" and it is superb for tracing long and straight features like border fences or rivers. I can see how it would interfere with everyday mapping though, so try Ctrl+Shift+F to disable it, or uncheck the appropriate box in the "View" menu.
