SUMMARY Text Tool preview make it hard to see text if the dpi is very big or very small. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a new document: something around A5 600dpi. 2. Go to Text Tool. 3. Create new text shape. 4. Go to Text Tool editor. 5. Make sure the Editor Mode is "Both" to see results better (it doesn't affect the results though). 6. Select "SVG Source" tab. 7. Click View -> Zoom In or Zoom Out a few times. It works, source is bigger or smaller according to what you clicked. 8. Select "Rich Text". 9. Click View -> Zoom In or Zoom Out a few times. OBSERVED RESULT #1 Nothing happens EXPECTED RESULT #1 Text in the preview is scaled accordingly. Also: 10. Change the size of the text to 5. OBSERVED RESULT #2 The size of the text on a canvas is reasonable big, but the size of the text preview in the Text Tool is unreadable. EXPECTED RESULT #2 There should be a way to make the text bigger in the preview, but there isn't any for now. Use case: files with big resolution (like 600 dpi).

Disable zoom-in/out actions when editing text in rich-text mode Qt doesn't support zooming of the text that has fixed font hight size using char-format. We should implement our own zooming for that.

I have disabled the zoom actions for the rich-text editor. We need to implement our own zooming for the text for this case. Therefore I'll also downgrade this bug to a wish (though the wish is rather important) WISHGROUP: Small Usability Fixes
