[FIXED] Zoom-In Tool often stays on even after Selector tool is clicked

Post by ChicoThorn »

Frequently occurring error: The Zoom-In tool stays active, even after clicking on the Selector tool. Only way to clear it is to: 1) select the Zoom-Out tool, 2) click anywhere in the edit window, 3) click the Reset Zoom to Default tool, 4) and finally click the Selector tool which will now work properly. I'd say this occurs about four to six times or more per hour of editing; frequently enough to be a real nuisance... I've tried to determine if there's a pattern that leads to this error, but so far I've been unable to find any that may be causing it. — This is an error I've experienced for quite some time through many different build versions, although I can't recall how far back it goes.

We do see some anomalies if we zoom in at one glyph panel, then go to another glyph panel and back. We will try to make behaviour more consistent with a next upcoming release.

For now if it happens again, do press the Esc key to revert back to Selection.
