Description Kevin 2017-06-01 04:11:08 UTC
Description:
Even with monospaced fonts, zooming doesn't zoom proportionally

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open the attached spreadsheet
observe: it is saved at zoom=140%; all but the top and bottom rows use only Courier New (monospaced)
2. Zoom to 100%
observe: red triangles appear to show that the columns are not wide enough to display the contents

Actual Results:  
Unlike Excel, if you adjust the contents of a cell to be visible, their spacing will change and may not be visible at a different zoom percentage.

Expected Results:
Zooming in should allow the user magnified control over the appearance of the cells such that when zooming back out, everything looks perfect - like sooming in to the pixel level in Photoshop.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
If you use anything but a monospaced font the problem is MUCH MUCH worse.

This is the work flow I've been forced into:

1. Type the chord symbols in my desired non-monospaced font
2. Select the blank spaces between two chords in the same cell and change the font of the spaces to Courier New
3. Retype the spaces

In this way, I get some semblance of the ability to zoom in and out without totally ruining the appearance, but even with only Courier New, it's still not perfect. Excel is perfect in this regard.

This is how the selected region is meant to look - the 75% view looks terrible - it's exactly the same file - the only change is the view percentage.
