Summary0006918: Make CTRL-Wheel Zooming in and out toward center of mouse pointer
DescriptionZooming in and out using CTRL-Wheel isn't a great experience. Your pointer is at a location and when you zoom your actually getting somewhere else than you wanted to zoom.

I don't know exactly how to explain it, but if you try zoom in and out using CTRL-Wheel in Inkscape, you will see how inkscape make zooming in and out a natural flow.
Steps To ReproduceCTRL-Wheel to zoom or zoom out

It would be nice too that when you zoom using the + and - zoom icons, and that a frame or an object is selected, that it stays centered after zooming. Usually you want to zoom what you are working on.

I'm not sure if I just got used to it... but In 1.3.7, Im pretty happy with the zoom in/out... I would close this one

In scribus 1.5svn, sometime (most of the time ?) zoom zooms toward mouse pointer and that is fine,

but sometime, zoom zooms toward selected item, which can be very far away in the document if user has scrolled since item was selected, and that is very disturbing because user get lost.

Hard to tell when is first or 2nd behaviour going to happen.

[EDITED]

Behviour is painfull when user has selected some frame a long time ago and has later scrolled many pages away.
When user zooms, display place is lost.

[WAS :]
More generaly ease or pain of behaviour depends on context :
- edit text mode ?
- frame selected ?
- multiple frames selected ?
- linked text frames ?
Zoom zooms toward center of selected frame instead of zooming toward pointer.
Issue is painfull with big zoomz when frame is much bigger than screen, because working place becomes out of screen and in such event, it's hard to know in which direction the working place has gone, because text is evenly "grey" with big zoom, or image is sometimes hard to recognise

Reproduced with Scribus 1.5.3 on LM18.2, Xfce. This issue is very limiting to my workflow.

"Zoom zooms toward center of selected frame instead of zooming toward pointer."

This is a really annoying problem.
