Bug Description

The documents of eog specify that you can use the scroll wheel to zoom an image (which was the old behavior), but they should now indicate that the CONTROL key is necessary.

Thank you for your bug. The action is to scroll horizontally in an imag, you want to use the control key when scrolling to zoom which is coherent with other applications like the web browser

It now works as expected. Thanks a lot and I'm glad it's now consistent with the browser.

The docs however need to be updated. If it is not a problem I am going to reopen this so the docs can be fixed. Searching for "zooming":

"You can zoom in or out of the image in the following ways:

    * Use the scroll wheel on a mouse. Scrolling down zooms out; scrolling up zooms in."
