Bug Description
Eeschema, Pcbnew, and GerbView all have the option for disabling "Center and warp cursor on zoom." However, the "Page Layout Editor" has no such option. Was this missed, because I would assume that this option would be coheasive across all tools?
Associated to this - at some point in the future will there be 'Global' settings that apply across all tools? (the above being a prime example) Currently, not even the wording or usage of this feature is the same between the tools. I.e. Eeschema calls it "Center and warp cursor on zoom" and GerbView calls it "Do not center and warp cursor on zoom" (the inversion).
As I come from using AutoCAD, having "Center and warp cursor on zoom" is a bit confusing and frustrating. Actually, KiCAD is the only program (collective) that I've used that has this zoom method - so I assume it is not very common. It may be wise to have this option disabled by default especially for newcomers (first impressions - less frustration). Just my two cents...

@Matt, yes, the plan is to unify these in 6.0.
It's being tracked here: https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/kicad/ +bug/1748680.
