Element-web: Desktop-App: Zoom factor is not remembered and menu hint is wrong

Created on 13 Nov 2018  路  4Comments  路  Source: vector-im/element-web

On Ubuntu 18.04 with the desctop app riot-web 0.17.0 the zoom factor is only remembered until riot is completely exited.

On each first start the Zoom is reset to 100%

If you don't find the zoom, press ALT once and you get the menu on top which has View->Zoom in and out

You can also zoom via shortcuts:

  • CTRL SHIFT + : zoom in
  • CTRL - : zoom out

This is a bug, because the menu sais CTRL +, (maybe this bug only exists in german QWERTZ keyboardlayout)

A sentence in the settings 

Use CTRL + and - key to zoom

would be great also!

tested and works fine as expected on Ubuntu: CTRL+ zooms up and the setting stays over restarts of the program

I can't reproduce the zoom setting not being remembered but #8381 fixes the menu item being wrong (it fixes it badly but that's because electron sucks).

@rubo77 can you test this again? Should be fixed in 1.0
