--- Comment #14 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalroz1 at gmx.com> ---
I want to consider three actionable things we could do in tackling this issue:

1. Add support for locking the zoom factor
2. Add support for ignoring zoom-in/zoom-out indications coming from the
keyboard (through the desktop environment or windowing system I suppose?)
3. Introduce mechanism for unifying/harmonizing aspects of zoom-related
behavior, such as zoom lock or ignoring trackpad zoom indications - or add zoom
lock to an existing mechanism of haromizing across modules.

I am ignoring the issue of the usability/configurability of the
Reset-Zoom-to-100%, because that really should be a separate bug, if at all.

I also suggest that consideration of (3.) be deferred until we have settled
this matter at the per-module level. And it is certainly of much lower
significance/priority than a per-module solution to this problem, as at worst -
one could make a few per-module settings.

So, we're left with (1.) and (2.) ; OP did not actually ask for (2.), but that
is something I believe we should offer. That way, the user can still
intentionally change the zoom through the menus, and it's just the
unintentional scroll-zooming which will go away. Otherwise, when the user wants
to change the zoom, they'll need to do three things: unlock, change, lock.
Cumbersome.

If (2.) was out of the question I'd be ok with (1.), but I really don't think
that should be necessary.
