Does the text box react like that in both GPU Preview and CPU Preview? What is being pressed to zoom in the view? A mouse scroll wheel, the Ctrl+Spacebar keyboard shortcut or something else? I can't duplicate the problem in Illustrator.

First text is position at center of the canves then using Alt+Shift key corner of the text box is draged to zoom in the text.

Applying the Alt+Shift keyboard shortcut to a corner of a text box only enlarges the text box from its center, without enlarging the lettering. If I want to zoom the view closer to a text object I'll just use the Ctrl+Spacebar keyboard shortcut or maybe the mouse scroll wheel (with Alt pressed).
