Description
Currently, the zoom feature affects all text in the main window, including the tab bar and side bar. Normally, a zoom setting would affect only the size of document text. Restricting the affected components to document text might improve usability of the application.

Research direction
Start by locating the implementation of the zoom feature in the editor window and inspect how it applies scaling to document text, the tab bar, and the side bar. Verify that changing zoom affects only the editing pane while the surrounding interface remains unchanged, using the existing UI checks or manual testing if no dedicated test is mentioned.
