There is a problem with zotero's zoom function

ninglang

I don't know that Zotero's zoom function has problems from time to time. For example, when I want to zoom in on a certain place, I hold down Ctrl on the keyboard and slide the mouse wheel, and I find that it does not work properly. This happens from time to time. I don’t know if everyone has this problem.

Does it happen after scrolling up or down in the PDF Reader?
This is what I have observed, making the navigation in the PDF Reader quite slow:

I still face this issue in Zotero 7 Beta.

This might have a connection with scrolling via pressing middle button not working on Zotero 7 Beta pdf reader tab.

same here with the latest beta 7.0.0-beta.95+694ccecf4 (64-bit), any update ?

@mjthoraval Yes, but sometimes after another scrolls, it works again. No clues about when does it work and when does it does not.

@sylph520: Can you find some precise steps to reproduce?

@mjthoraval Nope, sorry. Quite weird, it seems that these behaviors occurred occasionally in my Zotero 7 beta.

Can you reproduce the problem in the latest version with the steps described here?

Which type of mouse are you using and which operating system?

sylph520

@mjthoraval Yes, I'm using the latest zotero 7.0.3 stable now, and this problem is reproducible as said in the post you mentioned. I'm using a normal Bluetooth mouse (normal in zotero 6) and Windows.

I upgraded to Zotero 7 (7.0.3) on windows 11 platform and I am facing the same issue. Didn't have this issue for Zotero 6.
