Public bug reported: If you open a folder and change the view from list to icons and then hold CTRL and zoom in, the size of the icons on the desktop change as well. Zooming in while using the list view does not affect the desktop icon sizes. To me this is a bug and not desirable behavior but if it's just a matter of preference and not a bug please let me know.
