Hello Forum,

I have recently migrated from Jessie to Stretch. I have a couple of minor 
issues.
One of them concern Xfce: some time my fingers seem to do a combination of keys
that magnifies the screen: I got a floating desktop environment that is lager
than my actual screen. Does any know the magic combination that leads to this 
state ?
And, more importantly, how can we go back to the normal state ?

Thanks in advance,
Jerome




Hi, Jerome

I'm an Xfce user. The desktop magnification / zoom feature I'm familiar 
with is placing the mouse cursor somewhere on the desktop (other than in 
a window), holding down the Alt key, and moving the scroll wheel on the 
mouse. Getting the desktop back to normal is a matter of holding down 
Alt and moving the scroll wheel in the "down" direction -- toward the 
back of the mouse.


It might be possible to assign this function to a combination of keys on 
the keyboard, but I've not looked into that.


HTH,
JP

Debian Stretch Xfce: effective screeen bigger than the monitor screen

Hello Forum,

I have recently migrated from Jessie to Stretch. I have a couple of minor 
issues.
One of them concern Xfce: some time my fingers seem to do a combination of keys
that magnifies the screen: I got a floating desktop environment that is lager
than my actual screen. Does any know the magic combination that leads to this 
state ?
And, more importantly, how can we go back to the normal state ?

Thanks in advance,
Jerome
