When zooming using the lens utility and the mouse scroll wheel, you cannot go back to the x1 zoom level if you have zoomed out previously.
Also, I think that with one scroll input you should increase a certain amount of zoom level, like x0.25 or x0.50 on each step instead of the amount of scroll steps that you have configured in your computer or mouse, which I think is happening.
This is a small video showing the current behaviour:

That’s so weird. I’ve even added snap steps so it would be easier to get back to 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, etc.
You can see how it works on my computer in the attached video.
I will need a bit more info to see if I can make this work on all devices. What OS are you using? Do you have a touchpad or a mouse with a wheel? Do you know if you have smooth scrolling enabled?

I’m using a Windows 11 PC using Firefox with regular mouse.

I’ve just released version 250507.1752, in which I made an adjustment to make the experience with external mice work better.
You can find your current version number and a link to upgrade right below the copyright notice at the far bottom right of the page.
Could you please give it a try and let me know how it goes?

I think it’s not fixed yet.
I tested in Firefox, Edge and Chrome, same behaviour.

Damn. Would you please run a test for me? Please change the “Líneas que desplazarse a la vez” to 1 and try if that makes it better. Of course this is not the workaround I’m looking for, but I’d like to narrow down the source of the issue to see what I can do about it.

This is the behaviour with the value set to 1.
It’s more precise, but zooming out and then trying to get to 1:1 is not possible.

Ok, thank you for the test. I’ll see how I can fix that for all devices.

For the time being it seems I cannot distinguish between touchpads and mouse wheels easily.
In the meantime, I’ve reduced the sensitivity 4x on the latest release 250516.1916. Not sure if you’ll be able go to back _exactly_ to 1x but this should help quite a bit. Let me know how it goes!

It works better now. Sometimes it goes back to 1x, and other times it doesn’t, but it’s more precise than before. Thanks!

I’m glad it works better, thanks for letting me know!
I hope I’m able to improve it further in the coming versions.
