#### Problem For some users, it's not obvious how Zoom correction works. #### How it works In preferences, you can set up your zoom correction with the ruler on the screen. So after that when you click 1:1 in zoom tool, the zoom dimension on screen would be the same in real life. Example: if you set u your canvas to A4 click 1:1 and take A4 paper in the real-world and hold it against the screen they are the same size (in my case zoom is 98%, 24" 1920x1200px). When you zoom to 100% 1 pixel on the screen is 1. pixel in real life Problem is that some user expects to zoom to 100% and see this not clicking 1:1 button in zoom tool. #### How to fix? - Indicate in settings that you need to click 1:1 to see this zoom correction (easy fix) or - Add new settings (checkbox) to recalculate all zoom levels to zoom correction #### how other software deal with this I tried PS an IL doesn't work correctly on my monitor. They calculate this automatically but I think its bugged https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/33253402-100-size-is-actually-actual-size -Adam Belis ## Original post #### Zoom correction factor doesn't affect page scale - Open Inkscape on high-resolution display (4k, set operating system scale to 200%) - Go to the Preferences menu, select Interface. - Using a ruler match the zoom correction factor. For me it was correct on 193%. - Close Preferences window and open Document Properties window. - Select a physical page size. I selected A4. - Close the Document Properties window. - Select zoom of 1:1. #### What happened? The page didn't appear in its correct size, more like a quarter of it. #### What should have happened? The page should have appeared 1:1 to a real A4 page. #### Inkscape Version and Operating System: - Inkscape Version: Inkscape 0.92.4 (5da689c313, 2019-01-14) - Operating System: Ubuntu - Operating System version: 19.10
