Description
Type: Feature Request
I can't zoom in on the coding panel properly, previously when I held down control and the mouse wheel, the code zoomed in or out, and the side panel remained in the same position.
Now if I do the same, nothing works, but instead when I try to press control and + or -, all actions occur at once for the entire program, which really bothers me, because the text is very small when I am comfortable working with the side panel, and quite large when it is almost impossible for me to work with the side panel. Please answer if it is possible to somehow fix this situation, because I do not really want to look at the screen very closely and look for letters, considering that I am doing this for about midnight or night
