Re: How to unzoom the window

Thank you all for the answers. Dave is right that I’m running the experimental nwjs version. Darren is right that Cmd-Plus and Cmd-Minus will zoom the browser on MacOS, and while I didnt’ do that, there is perhaps another native MacOS capability at work here. I used to get the same issue with pdAdmin III, where suddenly the font size in the result grid would incrementally increase to a very large size. It was some combination of the modifier keys (Cmd, Option, Control, …) and scrolling on the touchpad (I think maybe Cmd-Option + scrolling, but I’m not sure). It was NOT any browser-based zoom (I just verified that that does not work in the my pgAdmin4). And (to me this is the definitive statement), it was a continuous incremental increase in zoom, as though I was increasing the magnification on the screen.

However, I’m not able to reproduce it, so I’m not sure how it happened. I was hoping that someone with MacOS knowledge, like you Duncan, might know the magic combination so that if it happens again I won’t have to abandon my session.

Anyway, thanks for your input, guys.
