At large zoom values, as in the attached Zoom5215.png, the control becomes almost unusable because the text area is very small. I often wish to zoom in to a precise level such as 10000%. This needs to be typed in by hand, but one cannot do that without first getting the appropriate cursor which is extremely difficult because the text area is too small and the I-beam cursor never shows up.
I would suggest removing the slider part of the control, since it is redundant and confusing.
