This bug has two aspects. 1. When setting either clip/project monitors in "Force monitor size" to "free resize"' after having set "Force monitor size" to "Force xx%" before, the monitor contents do not properly resize to take up any available space. Instead, whatever unused space was caused by 50% will remain so when resizing the monitor pane. See screenshot attached. The expected behavior for "free resize" should be the monitor contents making most use of the available space. 2. In any "Force monitor size" it is not possible to zoom in or out. This severely hampers, for instance, working on key frames for affine transitions when trying to precisely set the position and size of a particular key frame. For some projects, I need to zoom in in order to correctly (re)position the key frame using the mouse. Expected behavior: zoom in/out within a monitor to either get an overview with resized frames or to more precisely control key frame positioning and size. Reproducible: Always
I can reproduce, will look into it. By the way, I think nobody is aware of this, but you can zoom in/out in monitors with CTRL+SHIFT+mouse wheel.
Jean-Baptiste, many thanks for telling me the keyboard modifier combination! I remember trying Ctrl+Wheel and that didn't work. This surely is worth a short Kdenlive blog article. Alas, it would be great if there would be an explicit UI for this, so newcomers and old hands like me immediately recognize it ("cannot be overlooked"). We already have zoom buttons in other places, so my impression is that this would nicely fit into the overall UI picture.

Works like a charm. Thank you very much, Jean-Baptiste!
