This patch was a tentative to have a well defined behavior on zoom an
then avoid the rabbit holes we have with respect to the zooming
behavior.
I will try to check what other viewers do and then get back to this
discussion (zoom behavior) at some point.

Well, it must be documented somewhere, with or without this patch.
It's not the first time (and probably not the last) we will end up
discussing what should be the expected behavior for something related
to zoom.

That's a really good point and I have to agree. But I really don't see
any other reason for having zoom + resizing apart from us testing
higher resolutions.
