Affinity Publisher V1 zooms my page, without me wanting it to, while I am scrolling through pages with mouse.


Recommended Posts

I am using Affinity Publisher V1 to format my 200+ page book. I try to do this quickly, and I often need to switch to the two-page spread before or after the current spread I am working on. I often use the mouse zoom wheel to do this, and though my cursor is in the black area outside the pages, Publisher will sometimes suddenly zoom my page to 150% or more without me wanting it to. I then have to take the time to click on the zoom tool so  I can see the zoom dropdown list at the top of the page and switch back to 100%, then click on the move tool and recenter the page so I can finish what I am doing. It's very irritating and takes time from my work. While I am scrolling the mouse, I either have the move tool or frame text tool activated. Under Edit > Preferences > Tools, I have both "Use mouse wheel to zoom" and "Use scrubby zoom (whatever that is)" unchecked. Any ideas on how to avoid this inadvertent zooming? I appreciate your help.

Hi DoozyBird,

I haven't seen any other reports of this. Is it possible that you are accidentally hitting the CTRL key while scrolling which will make the app zoom?

Thanks

Happens to me sometimes too (in all V1 apps) with the bloody Apple Mouse under MacOS.

☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan
☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2
