SUMMARY Setting the Zoom effect's Zoom Factor to a large value causes the zoom animation to behave strangely. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enable Zoom. 2. Set Zoom Factor to 420 3. Zoom in. 4. Zoom out. OBSERVED RESULT The animation will take a very long time to finish, and your desktop will go from no zoom whatsoever to maximum zoom over the span of a minute. If you zoom out, you might not be able to move the zoom area around until the animation finishes. EXPECTED RESULT The value should be capped. We have a zoom limit (thankfully!), so having a zoom multiplier above that limit feels pointless. It definitely shouldn't break things when zooming out, that's for sure. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Plasma 6.4.5 on NixOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2
Thanks for the bug report. The way the Zoom feature works has been changed in git-master. It's been moved from the Effects settings and into Accessibility It's no longer able to go above a zoom factor of 4 This will be available on your system when it updates to 6.5.0.
