Comment 18 for bug 762699

There are six reports related to this bug dating back to 11.04. Six years later nothing has been fixed. There is no patch or workaround as far as i know.

I've been in limbo due to insufficient zoom accessibility features in Unity, Gnome 3 and KDE. Being stuck with gnome classic and 12.04. Honestly feeling that Linux has turned it's back on me.

I finally ended up with KDE and filed a bug assessing the main issue i had with the zoom functionality here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357692. The bug was resolved in LESS THAN ONE WEEK. There is now a working patch for 5.5 and it will (as far as I know) be implemented in Plasma 5.6. The end result is far superior to any zoom I've ever used (on Linux, Mac and Windows).

So what's the point of this rant like comment? I want to:
- inform people like me that there is now a very good alternative to the Enhanced Zoom Desktop plugin.
- remind people of the importance of resolving this bug.
