Description Peter Parente 2006-12-18 16:10:22 UTC 
The range for magnifier velocity and acceleration goes from 0 to 100 and 0 to 1000 respectively. The tooltip/description of these control does not state the units of these values. Pixels per second?

If the ranges are arbitrary and chosen to create "reasonable" velocities and accelerations, I suggest using a percent range instead with 0% set to 0 units in both cases and 100% set to 100 units velocity and 1000 units acceleration. At least in this case the user is dealing with some concept of "full speed" versus "half speed" on known range sizes.

Suggested patch

Added pixels per second**2 and pixels per second to acceleration and velocity's descriptions respectively.
Comment 2 Peter Parente 2006-12-19 18:03:32 UTC 
Fixed with a minor change to the tooltip description (**2 to squared) for non-techies.
