Description Stefan Brüns 2018-02-19 01:36:44 UTC 
The two-finger zoom seems to always zoom to the center position.

Expected behaviour:
If the user marks a rectangle with the fingers, e.g. in the top left corner of the view, and then pulls the rectangle to the size of the screen, the former top left corner should be shown full screen.

The same should probably apply to zooming with Ctrl + Mouse Wheel, i.e. zoom to mouse position. This is how zooming is handled in e.g. inkscape and any other document centric application I am aware of.

That needs somebody to implement it.  The current code for the gesture zooming is very simple and short.  It is in the method PageView::gestureEvent, if you want to have a look.

This might be a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421755. This bug has a merge request attached to it.

Yeah. Forward-duping since that bug already has a submitted merge request that will fix it.

Hold zoom center below fingers on pinch zoom

Which feels more natural than always zooming towards the center of the window.
