Hi Blitto, 'Two Finger Pinch' is an application-specific gesture; not all applications will recognise this gesture. You were not trying to use it in Firefox were you?
Press Control Key & use two fingers up & down and Zoom works in all. Firefox disables two finger pinch/zoom gestures on a Mac. Safari recognises ’Two Finger Pinch', but Firefox doesn’t. There is a way to make pinch/zoom work in Firefox if that is where you are experiencing the problem. I won’t bother typing it here unless this is your problem, post back if you want ‘Pinch/Zoom in Firefox. Cheers, Ronni On 26/10/2011, at 4:26 PM, cm wrote: > Quite possible, Rod.
