Description jlyman 2012-02-18 01:24:54 UTC 
Randomly (and not very frequently) saving using the keyboard shortcut Cmd+S will save the file, but then the text will zoom 2-3x larger, and I can see it go the steps of 1x larger, 2x larger, and then 3x larger, all very quickly. The text in the editor then stays that large for that file.

Closing and reopening the file resets the text size to normal. Does not happen again as far as I've seen on subsequent saves of the same file (ie doesn't get 6x larger next time I save). Does not occur on save of other files immediately after happening to one.

I really wish I could provide a more reproducible bug here, but I cannot detect any pattern to this at all.

Ah HA! I've figured out what was causing it, and feel a little sheepish, but also would classify it as odd behavior.

Holding down CMD and scrolling (on a MacBook Pro here, so two-fingers on the touchpad, but assume it would be the same with a scroll wheel) will resize the text. Very nice, a helpful feature.

However, because the Mac employs momentum-scrolling by default, if you scroll and release your fingers, but then use the keyboard shortcut CMD+S to save *while* the momentum scrolling is still moving the page, NB will interpret that the same as holding down CMD and scrolling to resize the text. This can easily be reproduced by scrolling a large file and pressing CMD after you've released your fingers but before momentum scrolling is finished. This issue therefore affects any keyboard command that contains a CMD key (closing files, opening files, etc.).

Change this to an enhancement request instead of a bug? It feels like incorrect behavior, but is not necessarily a defect...

The shortcut may be changed in Preferences -> Keymap, but maybe the default shortcut should be changed for Mac

This should be resolved by issue #212484 - now the font size change is Alt+MouseWheel.
