I can no longer marquis with the Zoom tool

Hi All,

Since the latest InDesign upgrade, I can no longer marquis with the Zoom tool to zoom to a certain area of a layout. When working on type, I used to marquis from margin-to-margin to make the width as large as possible to see what was happening.

Now InDesign's Zoom tool seems to work exactly the same way as in Illustrator and Photoshop. Click to make the view larger. Click and hold to Zoom in continuously. To me, neither of these methods are as fast or accurate as the marquis method.

Is there some sort of preference I'm missing to bring the"better" Zoom tool back? Or can Adobe add a  "Zoom to Width" command?

Thanks!

Found it! Using "Preview on CPU" fixes the issue.
