No, all you need is to shift to a log scale so each pixel corresponds to a different factor in scale. As it stands, it's linear with abrupt changes of slope at the lines - there is a huge difference across the 100% line. Dragging the minimum amount to the left of 100% yields 88%. Very nice, nearly continuous. Dragging the minimum amount to the right of 100% yields 335%. This is... not. One very cheap solution would be to go to log scale. With a log scale, you would still have access to the very high zoom levels, but not at such tiny increments. The saved screen space would go to lower zoom levels. Another would be turn off the snap-to behavior if you're holding shift, like how holding shift turns off the angle constraints on drawing lines. Or if you simply held the mouse in place for a second, it would figure you meant 'right here' -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
