Description amdfan12 2025-11-29 18:07:22 UTC 
SUMMARY
When you make the settings window narrower than the KDE default, the various options for zoom and magnification are so spread out, it becomes unclear what they're even for. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Settings
2. Go to Accessibility 
3. Click Zoom + Magnifier

OBSERVED RESULT
You have a random radio button that says "Disabled" that's very far away from the title text of "Zoom", that it's unclear what the button is even for. It's not clear what it's even for.

EXPECTED RESULT
This whole section needs to be reworked for better UX. There should be a "Zoom Type" section, with the "Full SCreen", "Zoom" and "Disabled" buttons right next to each other, and then the relevant options should appear when the corresponding button is selected
