--- Comment #5 from Alex Folland <[email protected]> ---
Before reading this ticket's comments, I honestly didn't realize the PC was
usable at all while zoomed in.  I use the zoom feature semi-regularly to
inspect or read something small but I have always zoomed all the way back out
before proceeding to do anything, assuming the zoom just renders everything
unusable.  I never even once tried to use the PC while zoomed in except to look
around by moving the cursor.

One time, I booted my computer and my desktop was slightly zoomed in.  At the
same time, the kernel had had a USB hub error and my mouse cursor couldn't move
and I couldn't type (because my peripherals were plugged into that USB hub), so
everything looked frozen.  I hard-rebooted thinking the GPU was having an
issue, considering the zoom which just looked like the wrong resolution was
being sent to the display and the display was not handling the resolution
correctly so the edges were cut off.  I eventually re-plugged my peripherals
and as soon as I moved my mouse, I saw that it was just the zoom desktop
effect, which caught me by surprise.  I zoomed out and proceeded to use my PC,
still not realizing that the PC had been usable while zoomed in.

It's possible other users have felt the same way and/or seen a similar issue. 
It would be nice if there was a disabled-by-default checkbox and slider with
text box that let the user reset the zoom level to a particular level after a
delay and if enabled, also on startup.  It sounds like Ritchie here could
benefit from that by having it set the zoom level to his preferred level in
case it accidentally got reset or changed, and other users could benefit from
it by having the zoom level reset to 100%.
