Re: Unwanted Zoom
Hi Barry, Depended on how you have your Accessibility options configured one way to zoom the whole screen is to hold down the Control key and slide two fingers up or down the track pad.

Re: Unwanted Zoom
Many thanks Carlo. I could not find any reference to the gesture but by further investigation found that the keyboard strokes option-cmd-8 was what I wanted. I knew there had to be a simple solution but just could not find it.

Re: Unwanted Zoom
Hi Barry, maybe a slip on the keyboard activated Universal Access in System Preferences Universal Access screen zoom on Option+Command +8 turns it on and off, Option+Command += or Option+Command +- adjust zoom in and out.

Re: Unwanted Zoom
Thanks Brian, I suspect you are right but I had no idea how I had turned this on through the trackpad.
