Description Tulipier 2018-05-09 15:02:09 UTC
Description :

It's not possible to zoom in or zoom out a spreadsheet document when using LOOL, controls are disabled, and even if I re-enable them (by editing js code) there is some serious display bugs.

It can be a serious issue because spreadsheet are widely used in order to store large amount of data, and it really uneasy to display them with the default 100% zoom.

The Dec, 5 2016, a commit disable zoom controls because of a bug in the w2ui library (https://github.com/LibreOffice/online/commit/d4d4a1175006bdc13d5c6ea98980141f6071197d). 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a large spreadsheet in LOOL
2. 

Actual Results:
A few amount of data can be displayed, no overview, and a poor global visibility. Unable to zoom out / in

Expected Results:
Be able to zoom out / in in order to get a better overview of the spreadsheet

Reproducible: Always

The real reason of disabling the zoom control was not a bug in w2ui library, rather there were many weird corner cases, when objects did not scale by the same factor as the grid, and the display fell apart. Just as reporter says: "even if I re-enable them (by editing js code) there is some serious display bugs". It is not trivial to fix these bugs. 

As a workaround, user can zoom in or out with browser's zoom control.

This is working now, Calc has free zoom as well, can be tested in eg. CODE 4.2.0 or in a LOOL master build.

I can confirm that it's working well since my last update and it has been greatly appreciated by my users. Thanks for your work !
