Edge: Zoom resets on navigation
Describe the bug When using Ctrl-+/- or Ctrl+MouseWheel to change the zoom and the navigating to a different page the zoom resets.
Expected behavior
Alternatives:
- Implement a custom handling of zoom to keep track of it and restore it after navigation, see also:
- https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/2451
- https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/3459
- We could disable these hotkeys by default. On macOS and Linux with WebKit no such zoom was implemented, neither was it on win32 with IE.
Environment:
- Select the platform(s) on which the behavior is seen:
-
- [ ] All OS
-
- [x] Windows
-
- [ ] Linux
-
- [ ] macOS
I am sure whether this should be considered an issue.
- I would not implement custom handling of zoom to preserve it upon navigation unless someone has an according use case and thus need for it.
- I would not (unnecessarily) limit/remove the zooming capabilities that are available now. Being able to zoom in and out (at least on a single page) sound like a nice feature to me. Consider that you embed a browser not for navigating around but for showing some HTML document or that you simple want to better see some details on a specific page you navigated to, then the existing capabilities are totally fine.
