​I think I found the solution for this bug. I think it has to do something with zooming in and out in your browser. I work on Chrome and I had the same problem of the zooming going from 24% to 51% to ….

After zooming in with the browser and back to 100%, the issue fixed itself.
 

So maybe it’s also caused by accidentaly zooming in with the browser and offsetting some value?

Hi ​@Joren Cosemans 

Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s interesting that adjusting the browser zoom helped resolve the issue for you. This could indeed indicate that browser zoom levels affect how Miro interprets zooming steps.

 

For anyone still experiencing this, here are a few things to try:

  • Reset your browser zoom to 100%

     

  • Check if the issue persists in incognito mode or another browser.
  • If using a touchpad or a high-DPI mouse, adjusting sensitivity settings might help.

Let us know if this helps or if the issue returns after a while. 


I’m using the Miro app on MacOS 13.4, and experience the same issue generally described above (Zoom levels going from 400% → 250% → 36% → 24%) on when using CMD + mouse scroll wheel (Logitec G900).

@Pablo Cettour‘s comment of the right click drag, then using the CMD + mouse scroll combination does work / ‘fix’ the issue (now 400% → 294 → 216% → 159 → 117 → 86 → 63 → 46% etc), which is much more usable. 

Definitely a bug though.

THIS WORKED GREAT!  THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

This somehow also worked for me.

Happy for that, frustrated that my first experience with the tool led to such a lousy experience on a basic and important feature


For my setup I am using a mouse which is served from a desktop PC over to a Mac and am experiencing huge steps in zoom level when holding CMD + mouse scroll.

However, what I noticed was that the board which was affected had preferences around being in TrackPad mode, rather than Mouse mode, presumably because it detected that it was on a Mac and they have a laptop trackpad (maybe). Anyway, changing this to Mouse mode has brought the zoom level steps to something reasonable, although it appears to change based on the level you are at, at around 14-25% step jumps. Not ideal, but a damn sight better than the 75+% jumps it was doing.

Thanks for pointing this out. Just last night I was setting up my first ever Mac computer (after only ever using Windows for decades) and I ran into the exact same issue + workaround. I’ll continue playing around with this over the next week or so and drop a line if I find a way to get more granular with the zoom.
