STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Activate the Zoom feature with CTRL-= several times 

OBSERVED RESULT
There is no proper scaling like the one you can choose in Display setting, where every font and UI object is repainted on the max resolution of the screen. Instead, the view is just larger but with the same resolution.

EXPECTED RESULT
There could be a proper repainted using the full resolution of the screen, like when you choose the scaling of the screen.
