When double-clicking on a symbol-name in the library tree view on the left of the interface, the symbol systematically opens with an implicit zoom-to-fit. When the symbol is composed of multiple units, the zoom-to-fit is not implicitly applied when changing to another unit.
Has this been done with a special reason ?
If not, it might be good to connect the "zoom-to-fit" to the onchange-event of the unit-dropdown, the same way as with the onselect in the treeview.

If you had a large symbol and were zoomed in on a particular area and needed to edit that area in multiple units, and auto-zoom-to-fit might be very annoying.
The question then becomes: on balance which is more useful: auto-zoom-to-fit or manual-only? I don't have a good feel for that....
