DMD 1.4.1 Toolbar Zoom Bug?

[LWgreys]

In DMD 1.4.1, the Toolbar Zoom dropdown function when clicked on and select zoom level 85% or any other, will zoom to level 35% by default. Acts like it's it stuck at 35%.

I could not duplicate this.  Starting with a new instance of Designer and with a new project, please provide the steps to duplicate it.  Thanks!!

This is the same problem I have had from the first install of 1.3 anyway. It does it on this machine XPSP2 with 1.3.1 (no 1.4 on it yet.) I reported it way back on the forum but can't locate it now.

Freshly opened, New Offline Project, click on Zoom and any choice is 35%.

I saw this on another one of my machines with 1.4.1 also (probably also XPSP2 as SP3 broke some PLC stuff.) Though I want to say it worked on one of them too. I just got into the habit of using the + - icons afterwards. You know - if it's broke, don't use it.

Well I did everything! Uninstalled both 1.3 & 1.4, deleted the directories, installed 1.4 again and still the same zoom to 35% no matter which zoom level I select. I even went into NVIDIA Control Panel and tried all the settings for DMD 1.4. Still the same results. Here is a list of the equipment I'm using:

Operating System
   Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1
CPU
   AMD
RAM
   16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3
Motherboard
   ASRock 990FX Professional
Graphics
   512MB NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT (ASUStek Computer Inc)
Dual display
   1920x1080@60Hz
   1920x1080@60Hz

Also before I uninsulated 1.3, I checked it also and it did the same thing. DMD is the only application on my computer that does this. All other apps work fine.

Try updating your mouse driver.

Try updating your mouse driver.

I'll pass on this option as I have at least three different mice and drivers, one being the laptop's touchpad. All 3 machines have this issue.

As an additional note, clicking on the zoom "tool" (I don't know what this is called) and then using up and down arrows on the keyboard to select size and then pressing <Enter> still jumps to 35%.

[franji1]

If you use the Ctrl+mouse wheel, do you get the various zoom levels, or still only get 35%?

[Mike Nash]

On my computers it is only the pull down pick list window that exhibits the 35% behavior. The Zoom In and Zoom Out Menu selections and toolbar icons work, as does the keyboard combos and the <Ctrl>+mouse wheel.

[LWgreys]

The mouse driver is part of Windows 7 and the ctrl-MouseWheel function works. Maybe it's because I have multiple monitors. Not going to unplug one just to try. On machines at work with a single monitor works fine, but on mine at home with multiple monitors, it does not. Also the machines at work are all Intel processors and mine is AMD.

Maybe it's because I have multiple monitors.

Almost all of us here at Host have multi-monitors, so I doubt that is your cause.

As does everyone at AutomationDirect.  We also run the various versions of Windows as well.  Hence why I suggested the mouse driver as it is one of the most likely suspects to cause issues.  We run into mouse and video driver issues on a fairly regular basis in technical support.

I can't even find a drop-down for zoom.... Where is this said button? I have all my toolbars turned off, but can't seem to find which toolbar has this... The normal zoom all seems to work just fine on my machine.

[Controls Guy]

In my case, the Zoom pulldown is in the Offline bar (what I would consider the main/default bar: Open, Save, New, Backup, Edit, etc.).  I have no idea if the Zoom pulldown was there by default or if I customized it on there.  I know I typically add the Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons and those aren't there, so my suspicion is that I haven't customized, or at least not very much, since installing v1.4.

The drop down combo box is on the Offline toolbar, between the (Find Next) Output and Options buttons.
