Alex Folland <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- 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%. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
