Hi Isn't what you are seeing here simply bug #555493 [1] ? If yes, then yeah that is certainly a bug. > I open a "larger" picture (1944x2592px), where "red eyes" has to be removed. > That for, I zoom into the eyes with the zoom tool.

Since other use cases rely on that typing "1" does *not* use the cursor as the zoom focus point (which was what bug #553534 [2] was all about), I suggest you instead zoom out with the "-" key which *does* use the mouse cursor as the zoom focus point, or make use of the Zoom Revert functionality (View -> Zoom -> Revert Zoom, default shortcut key is "`"). > The zoom button instead always centers the image in the image window, which > is slightly more compelling to me than centering a image corner in the > window, but still not the perfect way. > > I would like to have the following behavior: > > - Zooming out with cursor IN the image window -> center the pixels under the > cursor in the image window, image borders should be ignored. > - Zooming out with mouse outside image window -> pixels in the center of the > image window should remain the pixels in the center of the image window, > image borders should be ?. > If you by "zoom button" mean the "-" or "+" key, then this is how it currently behaves. And actually it is an open question if it *should* behave that way or if the image coordinate under the cursor should *always* be the zoom focus point, independent of if the cursor is within the image window canvas or not. That is how GIMP 2.4 behaves. The way it currently works in GIMP 2.6 was introduced before the image was made (in the middle of GIMP 2.5 development) to center itself in the viewport if it becomes small enough to fit there when zooming out . In other words, there is no real reason to keep the new behaviour here. > For the thing with image borders, how about introducing a operator key for > zooming?

I'm sceptical about this, to me it doesn't make much sense and feels like a workaround to an issue that I'm not even sure exists in the first place.
