Description Matej Cepl 2011-01-10 07:28:31 UTC 
My Mom (72-year old very non-technical interpreter) was bitten severely by Zoom Slider (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Zoom_Slider). By mistake she clicked on it and without understanding what happened she suddenly got zoom 589%.

Could you please make it (at least) possible to switch Zoom Slide off? Actually, I would argue that for Writer it should be opt-in completely (how many Writer users need different zooms of their documents? I would think that default Optimal zoom would be enough for 99% of users).

Thank you

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

I am not willing to install to my mom's production computer pre-release version of the software, but with the latest stable release (3.4.4) the situation is absolutely unchanged.

See also bug 47577, as it may be what happened to your Mom.

Indeed: bug 47577 appears to be a outright bug. This is an enhancement request [marking it as such].
