I don't have a scroll wheel (I only use the touchpad on my mouse) so I'm still not sure how I get it to zoom. I didn't know that web browsers zoomed that way either, having not used a scroll wheel in a couple years. I'll fully admit my problem was one of ignorance, but I'm guessing I'm only one among many of the ignorant masses. > I do agree, though, that this behaviour should be enabled through some > accessibility setting. Something would be useful, I don't particularly have an opinion on what exactly. Either an easy way to disable the whole thing or a popup that tells you how to zoom out. -Jordan -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
