Thank you for reporting the bug.
it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.

I recommend you use the  - and  + keys at the lower right of the document when trying to zoom images or letters. It gives you the specification of what exactly you want.

dgbates2, does this hint solve your problem? If not, what results do you get by using + and - ? => NEEDINFO

I didn't reproduce the same issue when I tried to use the zoom function.

My environment:

OS: macOS 10.14.4

Version: 6.2.2.2
Build ID: 2b840030fec2aae0fd2658d8d4f9548af4e3518d

Hi, I can set any zoom percentage value by clicking the percentage icon (opening Zoom & View Layout), but while using the bar to change the value, it jumps between 100% and 152%, because of strong cursor snap on 100%.
Entering in-between percentages manually works fine.
This bug is actually an enhancement request.. perhaps the bar can be on a logarithmic scale? The first snap after 100% could be perhaps 110% instead of 152%?

I DLed the latest version and the 'issue' is present still.

I hope that helps.
