I'm experiencing zooming problems with Writer and Calc (the only modules I use heavily). I'm running OO 3.1.0 Build 9399 on a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5.7. The problem has been occurring only since I upgraded OO.

What happens is that moving the cursor using the touchpad can be interpreted as initiating zooming. It doesn't happen all of the time, and it can zoom either in or out.

Dave Post suggested checking the Mac trackpad controls. Mike reported that there is nothing that helps.

Have you tried NeoOffice, an OOO version made specially for the Mac's
with OSX. I am running it on an older G4 with 10.4. My son (graphic
designer) said that it works best on all Mac's.

Mike: thanks! I note the following on the NeoOffice users patch and release info page:

"This patch also provides a way for MacBook users to disable trackpad gestures with NeoOffice. Many users have reported that their MacBook laptop's trackpad is too sensitve and that causes NeoOffice documents to zoom in and out unexpectedly. While Mac OS X does not provide any way to reduce trackpad sensitivity, users can stop unexpected zooming by disabling all trackpad magnify and swipe gestures in NeoOffice"

Looks like exactly my problem, and the fix. Looks like I'll also be moving to NeoOffice...

Mike
