Description Unknown 2015-09-17 19:08:00 UTC 
If you hover the mouse over the "Zoom Level" bar at the bottom of Kdenlive, scrolling down will magnify the timeline, and scrolling up will shrink the timeline. There are two problems with this:

(1) I think this is counter-intuitive. Most users, I suspect, are naturally going to want to scroll up to magnify the timeline. Up seems to run synonymously with bigger, larger, greater.

(2) The Ctrl+mouse wheel function on the timeline works the opposite way: scrolling up magnifies, and scrolling down shrinks. Scrolling when hovering over the zoom level bar does the opposite. This leaves zoom operations confusing and incongruent to the user.

FIX: I believe scrolling up to magnify and scrolling down to shrink would be the best function for the zoom level bar. Would encourage to have it operate like the Ctrl+mouse wheel zooming function in the timeline.

Reproducible: Always
