I upgraded to 1.3.17 (from 1.3.14 where I could alter the font size of
the preview pane) to try out the new functionality of zooming the
text. Although the new feature was a nice try, it does not succeed in
providing the functionality of earlier versions (e.g. 1.3.14). The
problem is that zooming in, or selecting a larger than 100% value in
the bottom right corner might make the text larger but it doesn't fit
it into the window anymore. So, trying to read the abstract, for
instance, or even just seeing the whole title, is no longer possible
without scrolling from side to side. Is it possible to make the text
fit into the window? (I know the inclination is to say "no" to feature
requests, but this is not so much about adding a new feature as
reverting back to an old, and nice, one.)
