zoom shrinks as images scroll backward

[pauljohn32]

Binary package hint: geeqie

As I hit "page up" to cycle backwards through images, the zoom factor steps smaller and smaller.

I've never had the zoom step while scrolling forward.

I'm using geeqie with a detached toolbar, "leave zoom at previous setting", resize window to fit image.

Does this show you everything you want to know?

[Michal Čihař (nijel)]

I can not reproduce this with current version. Does it happen to you still with final version?

[pauljohn32 (pauljohn32)]

It happens to me still in current Ubuntu which has geeqie version 1:1.0-4.

Can you try again with a folder of images that are larger than your monitor size and with the zoom beginning at 1:1. Every time I hit "page up" or "page down" the image size wanders down. It gets smaller than a postage stamp eventually. A 1 will bring it back up.

[Forest (foresto)]

Yes, it is still a problem with geeqie 1.0.
