Zoom tool, zoom-in function magnifies center of image instead of selected area
Last modified: 2009-03-04 05:53:12 UTC
Please describe the problem: The Zoom tool (or magnifier) should, according to manual/documentation, zoom a selected portion of an image. Instead, it zooms to the center of the image such that one has to scroll to the intended zoom area (which can be a pain if zoom level is high). Also would be nice if one-click zoom in/out would pay attention to context (such as zooming in near where the pointer is). Steps to reproduce: 1. open image to edit 2. select zoom tool (either from toolbox, pressing "z", or from Tools drop down menu. 3. click and drag an area to zoom Actual results: The image zooms in, but to the wrong part of the image (unless the user intended to zoom the center portion of the editing image). Expected results: The image should zoom in to the area selected. Does this happen every time? Every time. With every image. Other information: win32 version on XP-Pro
Hi and thanks for the bug report! Do you have 'Resize window on zoom' enabled?
I did have 'Resize window on zoom' enabled. That settled the problem, but it was not an obvious fix.
Well, that is not a fix, but it makes this bug report a duplicate of #568150. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 568150 ***
