Description Dirk Steinkamp CLA 2022-02-26 06:07:35 EST
Given:
- open any file in a text editor or java editor
- Zoom in to increase font size

Then:
- toggle block mode

Should:
- not change displayed font size

But:
- displayed font size goes back to 100%
- if toggled back to regular selection (or multi-select) goes back to the prior zoom level

The following bugs might be related:

Somewhere there it states as multi-select should be the successor of block selection such issues might not get fixed. Yet multi-select seems to need some more time to mature, and fixing this issue hopefully shouldn't take much effort, so I would consider it to be worthwhile.

e.g. Bug 509108 describes the same issue, therefore this is another duplicate of Bug 492202. Given the history of that bug, this issue is not trivial (a proposed solution is rolled back).

Given the open source nature of the project, you could always try to fix the issue yourself or to pay somebody to do it for you. Given the limited resource available to the project, don't expect that somebody will fix this soon for free. Especially because there is work on a new solution, Bug 492202 Comment 38.
