Display zooms in - Dave Bruwer - 02-27-2021
Sometimes when I press Alt + Tab to switch between open windows the display zooms in, almost like a magnifier app.
The display then pans around with the cursor.
The only way to fix it is to restart.
Is this a known bug or have I accidentally pressed some magic key combo for turning on the magnifier?

Is this happening when you have firefox running and a webpage open, and then try to switch to another application window like gimp or thunar? It could be caused by the web page code i/e a page with images that allow mouse over zooming and also include keystroke shortcuts in the object code, something that is happening more these days because of android compatible pages.

It usually happens while I am flicking between the following windows:
- Brave/Chrome browser with tutorials or Udemy course.
- Brave/Chrome browser that is running my webpage that I am working on. (Very basic as I am still learning)
- Sublime text where I am coding the page.
- Terminal window where I am running the development server for the webpage
It has happened a couple of times over the last couple of months, and I don't think I was running this exact setup each time.

Try: alt+Super(Windows key)+8 when zoom sticks. Toggles zoom.

I'm not sure what is causing the zoom to activate in the first place, probably the combination of software you are running at the time, none of which I use on a normal day other than the terminal.

Awesome thanks!
I will wait until it happens again and try the "Alt + Widows Key + 8" solution.
