Subject:SF9: Zoom normal (key command) not working correct
Posted by: timo75

Hi there,

in SF9 there is a difference between the "zoom normal" button in the tool bar and the key command (Ctrl-down).

As used to in previous version of SF, the mentioned function should reset all zoom levels to default, horizontally and vertically. So does the button in the tool bar, but not the key command, which only resets the horizontal zoom level and leaves the vertical zoom where it is.

Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

It's sort of a bug. The default key binding isn't the same.

You can restore the old behavior in Options->Customize Keyboard:

1) click the "Data Window" tab
2) find the entry "Zoom: Time Normal" in the list box and highlight it (it should be assigned to Ctrl+Down)
3) click "Remove" to remove it.
4) click on the "Global" tab
5) find the entry "Zoom: Time Normal" in the list box and highlight it.
6) In the "Shortcut keys:" box below, press Ctrl+Down arrow, then push the "Add button"
7) press OK to exit the dialog

I agree that the behavior should be the same as the popup menu and toolbar button options, so I will fix the default key binding.

Thanks.
J.

Hi and thanks for your quick reply!

I did like you instructed, but still, it is not working properly. I found out that maybe the key command itself performs a "zoom selection" and not a "zoom normal".

Here's what I do and how I can recreate it:
- Open a file
- zoom in horizontally (time)
- zoom in vertically (level)
- pressing ctrl-down -> zoom out performs just horizontally
- clicking on zoom normal button in tool bar, or select view/zoom time/normal -> zoom out performs horizontally *and* vertically (as it should)

As mentioned I changed the key command as you described, so ctrl-down is bound to "zoom: time normal" on global tab and to no other command.
